Apache not playing with PHP on Debian Etch


Hi,

I'm trying to set up a basic Apache/PHP/MySQL server, but cannot get the PHP bit to work.
I've installed everything via apt-get, as I have done a few times, but it's refusing to work.

If I go to http://192.168.1.56/ I get the apache/debian test page. If I go to http://192.168.1.56/test.php it asks whether I want to download the file.

The file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf contains
Code:
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
The file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load contains
Code:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
And that file exists.

My httpd.conf is here
the apache logs are here but don't seem to contain anything pertinent.

Any ideas what I've missed?

i didn't see this line in your httpd.conf

Code:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so
it doesn't go in any bracketed section
i have a whole bunch of LoadModule lines in my conf but it doesn't look like you have any so maybe i'm missing something
but mine works and you should atleast try that


also should check out the tut on this website about setting up apache/php/mysql

What are the contents of text.php? The PHP processor will execute any php code, and will then serve up the resulting output to the client web browser. At that point, the web browser will do whatever it thinks is appropriate for a file containing that output. If it looks like the sort of file which you'd download, then the web browser will treat it as such. A web browser will typically ask if you want to download anything that looks like a binary file, other than .jpg/.gif/.png images.

I recently set up a new web server on Debian 4.0 with:

apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server

Everything worked out-of-box. I briefly considered using a guide I found on the internet called "The Perfect Setup - Debian Etch (Debian 4.0)"...but it looked ludicrously complex and redundant. I decided to try the keep-it-simple minimalist approach first, and I'm glad I did. Like I said, it just plain worked out-of-box.

Of course, I still did some manual configuration to suite my desires. For example, I moved the /var/www directory to main main data partition, with a symlink in /var/.

Ah, forgot about that. test.php is:
Code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
File sees that it's a PHP script.

I tried puter's suggestion, but I get the following error:
Code:
Configuration syntax error detected, not starting/reloading...
Syntax error on line 1061 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: unixd_config
 failed!
(your suggested path doesn't exist on my system) I haven't found any solutions to that problem on the net yet, but I'll keep looking.

I don't know what could be wrong. I just tried creating /var/www/test.php, and it worked. It returned a large html page with tables that included a ton of info about php. Note that I'm using apache2 and php5...I don't know if you're using different versions.
