Installed php, httpd, but php does not work too well

WoAnerges · 05-03-2012, 12:44 AM

So, I am running centOS6,

httpd, mySQL and php are already installed.
Http pages loading just fine, but php page just shows a code.

Code:

# php -v

Check if the following exist in the httpd.conf
in the module section:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
(this module must be loaded at the near bottom from this section)

Code:

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>


<IfModule mime_module>
....
...
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
.....
</IfModule>

<IfModule php5_module>
Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf
</IfModule>

code in extra/php5_module.conf

Code:

# Required modules: dir_module, php5_module

<IfModule dir_module>
	<IfModule php5_module>
		DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
		<FilesMatch "\.php$">
			SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
		</FilesMatch>
		<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
			SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
		</FilesMatch>
	</IfModule>
</IfModule>

where is that extra?

Code:

# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 574 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command '....', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                           [FAILED]

Maybe I don't have such modules?

Babertje · 05-03-2012, 02:38 AM

it should be here:
/etc/httpd/conf/extra/php5_module.conf

this guide is step by step for centos6
take a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/installing...entos-6.2-lamp

WoAnerges · 05-03-2012, 03:32 AM

I don't even have extras dir in httpd's conf dir. What do I do?

Some distro's don't do extra folders but to keep stuff easy to maintain and not to make one bulky httpd.conf, things like vhost php5 dav and ssl configs can be kept in an extra folder then included in the main httpd.conf
You can create that extra folder in /etc/httpd/conf/extra and there you create the php5_module.conf

Code:

# Required modules: dir_module, php5_module

<IfModule dir_module>
	<IfModule php5_module>
		DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
		<FilesMatch "\.php$">
			SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
		</FilesMatch>
		<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
			SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
		</FilesMatch>
	</IfModule>
</IfModule>

Now you include this extra/php5_module.conf with this code at the near bottom of your httpd.conf

Code:

<IfModule php5_module>
Include conf/extra/php5_module.conf
</IfModule>

The php module must be loaden after the dir_module in the section that starts with "LoadModule ..."

Code:

...
....
LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
....
...

Don't forget the : AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php in the mime module section and add index.php before index.hmtl in this section

Code:

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>

you can test the config with

Code:

apachectl -t

this should return "Syntax OK"
and

Code:

apachectl -t -D DUMP_MODULES |grep php
Syntax OK
 php5_module (shared)

this shows that the php module loads at startup

Screw centOS. I am gonna use Debian. centOS crashed randomly two times in one day today. All because their packaging is too old.

Bleeding edge, fast, clean and a very good package system, try Archlinux they also have a very good Wiki.
However don't discard this thread as it is a good lead to setup apache lamp!
