php files not working in my public_html in ubuntu

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 04:09 AM

I have lampp as well as apache2.
I can easily access my files using lampp but they are not accessible when they are in public_html.
My lampp is stopped and apache2 is running when I try to open them through public_html.
What am I doing wrong?

When you open php files using lampp. you say you are using xampp or lampp but what do say when you run it using httpd and access through public_html?

As you have said you have stopped XAMPP and start apache2.
I hope you have watched it carefully and it does not give error.
Another apache web server demon is running.

Hey ! Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have watched this, it does not give this error.
When I start apache2, it gives following message

Code:

 * Starting web server apache2                                           [ OK ]

When you try to access your php files, what is the error there.

Code:

http://localhost/webproject

what is the output of

Code:

http://localhost

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 05:21 AM

when I open http://localhost
It opens page "It works"
It looks like apache2 is working but when I try to open
http://localhost/phpproject
It shows not found. It gives download link of index.php. The index.php in inside phpproject directory.
Although phpproject is inside /var/www.
I don't know why does it not find it?

Have you added this line in your apache conf file

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 05:29 AM

Yes this line is already there in apache2.conf and it is not commented.
Although I have restarted apache2 and it still gives me download link of index.php.

fortran · 03-07-2013, 05:31 AM

Did you install libapache2-mod-php5?

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 05:47 AM

Yes, the module has been installed already and it says "already installed".
Although I have restarted apache2 again and it still gives me download link of index.php.

Try adding this to your .htaccess file:

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 05:58 AM

No DirectoryIndex is not working for me.
Same issue.

TenTenths · 03-07-2013, 06:10 AM

Try the following:

* Disable SELINUX if it's enabled.

* Try giving any .php files the "x" execute permission.

* Create a small file called info.php containing:

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
<?>

Place it in the relefant folder and access it directly with http://server/folder/info.php

If you get the original file back then your PHP installation is not working, if it comes back with a lot of information then PHP IS working.

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 06:24 AM

Yes My SELinux is disabled already.
I already told you if it is php file, it shows me download box instead of opening it.
same for phpinfo.php
I don't want to download it and it gives me download link.
I know how is it opened, I have opened it in xampp.
It is not working here. thanks for reply.

fortran · 03-07-2013, 06:25 AM

If you can see "it works page", it means it can read the html but as you are saying it gives download link for index.php.
Some how it is not able to read php files. It looks like php modules are disabled.
Can you run following command?

Code:

$ sudo a2enmod php5

Check once /etc/apache2/mods-available, if there are php.conf and php.load, then run

Code:

$ sudo a2enmod php

I'm well aware that it is a PHP file, with the phpinfo.php file I was starting with a known method of checking that your php modules for apache were correctly installed.

They aren't.

You're now going to reply with "I already told you they are installed"... they aren't. They aren't installed/configured correctly. Good luck!
