Apache-ssl not correctly parsing php files

jme · 05-02-2005, 11:07 AM

I have recently installed apache-ssl onto my server to provide a secure site. I have it all installed with php working, but any time that I surf to the site or to any directory within the site where a index.php file is called I am prompted to download the file.

I have all the relevant options set in the httpd.conf file and have restarted so that it uses the new version, but I am still getting nowhere.

I hope that this is just me missing something really obvious.

Many thanks.

I have the following in my httpd.conf file:

Code:

#
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index.  Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi
</IfModule>

[/code]

And

Code:

    #
    # And for PHP 4.x, use:
    #
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

php is working when you type the full url into the address bar (www.domain.com/index.php) but not when it should be reading the directory index.

Your DirectoryIndex is inside <IfModule xxx> group. It means this line applies only if this module is loaded. Try to find another DirectoryIndex in your httpd.conf file. If there's no just add this line:

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi

somewhere outside any groups.

I thought that too but it doesn't make any difference even if it's outside of the module clause.

Many thanks.
