Problem with DirectoryIndex and PHP not processing
 

I have just installed Sarge, apache2, and php4 (with libapache2-mod-php4)

my DirectoryIndex list index.php, and when I go to http://www.mysite.com/index.php PHP will process the page like normal. However when I go to http://www.mysite.com, it sends me the php source in a file as opposed to processing it first.

Anyone experienced this? or know what I can do to solve my problem?

Thanks

Re: Problem with DirectoryIndex and PHP not processing
 

This might sound insane, but I did find a reference to this exact problem for you. Take a look at this webpage:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FA...set-servername

It appears that if you do not have your webserver properly named, it does not know how to handle the redirection that you are describing above....

Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately the symptoms aren't exactly the same, and my servername is set correctly.

I haven't had this problem with any other OS.. I know it's not the OS but some configuration that's deeper than my knowledge


help please

Dumb answer removed

One other thing to check is to see if there is anything in /etc/apache{2}/conf.d that might be causing some issues. I know that php can sometimes put configuration files in there as well.

Well, after hours last night of toiling, rebooting, reinstalling all to no avail, I woke up this morning and it 'just works'. Thanks to those who tried to help, must have just been one of those weird unsolvable occurances. :)
