elgrandeperro,

Remenber the command "PHP -v" shows 7.2.24, so PHP is installed but the apache config is still not right so it never recognizes it, That is where I'm at in this problem.

Cheers!

In your /etc/apache2 configuration files there should be a LoadModule directive i.e.
LoadModule php7_module /path/to/libphp7.so

In the php7x.conf file there should be something like below which tells apache to parse php files.
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

michaelk,

OK! In dir /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ there is a php7.2.conf and php7.2.load. The <FilesMatch \.php$> is in php7.2.conf file and the <LoadModule php7_module /path/to/libphp7.so> is in the php7.2.load file.

The /etc/apache2/apache2 conf file has include statements for both of these, so should be loading correctly.

Any more ideas?

Cheers!

Hi,

are you sure that you have the relevant php 7.2 package installed? Check with:
Version 7.2 seems very old to me.

Evo2.

If a .php won't render (I only include phpinfo for testing instead of trying to get phpmyadmin to work, because it is small and easily checked. If it doesn't work, you don't have either the right packages installed or not enabled apache using php via the module. Go over the phpmyadmin install to apache and check that you have installed all software and enabled php in apache.

You've missed something very basic.

Again, if phpinfo.php does not work, there is NO way that apache/php is installed right.

Check the module is loaded:

evo2,

I'm on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS

elgrandeperro,

I even tested several.php files in the command line and they also do not render, they only print out the code like an echo statement, which should be independent of apache, so yes guessing something wrong in the basic PHP config.

Since ports.conf was erroring, will put that in a paste bin, cause it only had 80 and 443 as ports defined and I saw nothing standing out that should cause errors.

Did you check that apache module is actually installed?

Evo2.

So running "php phpinfo.php" returns what?

where

should give you something like:


~/php $ php phpinfo.php | head
phpinfo()
PHP Version => 7.4.33

System => Linux ubuntu20 5.15.0-78-generic #85~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 17 09:42:39 UTC 2023 x86_64
Build Date => Jun 8 2023 15:23:07
....

You can also test php via the command line

php -i

php -r 'echo "Hello World\n";'

evo2,

Yes it is!

Cheers!

TBNK

michaelk,

Ran php -i from the command line and posted the outpu at:

Hope this helps.

A quick glance but looks reasonably ok. Did you try running a command i.e.

php -r 'echo "Hello World\n";'

michaelk,

I'll try that and see what happens, but remember running:
only get an "echo" on the file contents.

TBNK

michaelk,

Ran your cmd: PHP 'echo "Hello World";'

And it did was display that as code so showed it all verbatim with no processing because if it had processed only

Hello World

would have been displayed!

See why I'm confused!

Cheers!
