LinuxQuestions.org - Help. Apache doesn't read PHP files

Hi everyone,

Yesterday my apache 2 webserver stopped serving PHP files. If I try to access a directory that has index.php as its index, all i get is a 403 Access Forbidden! If i try to read from the php file directly, my browser just wants to download the file.

Nothing changed from what I can see:

Here is the entry in my log:

Code:

[Tue Sep 19 19:05:51 2006] [error] [client 66.213.158.39] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /srv/www/htdocs/

Here is the virtual host configuration for that particular server and VHOST:

Code:

# NAME DEFAULT NULL

<VirtualHost *:80>

 DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs

 ServerName netcentralinc.net

      <Directory /srv/www/htdocs>

  order allow,deny

  allow from 66.213.158.32/255.255.255.224

  allow from 66.213.128.18

        </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I don't see an Options directive. I do have an options directive in the default server config above the Vhosts config

Code:

<Directory />

    Options None

    AllowOverride None

order allow,deny

allow from 66.213.158.32/255.255.255.224

</Directory>

I'm sure the Options NONE is throwing off the error. If i change it to all it works but all i get is a directory listing, the server still doesn't parse index.php. I've tried throwing a default ()phpinfo page in a vhost that I know works as index.php and when I do I get the same 403 forbidden or directory listing.

I have mod_php5 installed.
Here is the line in /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/

Code:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/mod_php5.so

I am running apache2-prefork so should it be in /usr/lib/apache2-prefork? If so why did it work fine up until now.

I have the following line in mime.types which is just a symbolic link to /etc/mime.types:

Code:

application/x-php php php3 php4
