apache2 displays PHP source instead of evaluating

When i browse a php page under my Apache server the php source is displayed, instead of its output.

I've seen this before, typically the php module isn't being loaded.

I am new to VirtualHosts. I have not added anything within my virtual hosts tags having to do with php, I assume that if its not defined in the virtual host it will use the global setting.

My /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file looks as follows:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

AddHandler php5-script .php

AddType text/html .php

DirectoryIndex index.php

the module is present @ modules/libphp5.so

my sample page:

Code:

<?php

 //filename: index.php

 print "hello world.";

?>

Apache's log/error_log does not report any warnings or errors

Ever suffer from temporary retardedness? my file was miss named 'index.html', it was not named index.php.

problem fixed.

/sigh

php 4 and apache displaying source

I have the same proble but my files are named corectly and even my mail program shows the source.

Have you installed php4?

On Debian based distibution:

apt-get install php4

I have same issue at the moment with apache/php4 on my Asterisk server.

Have you started Apache with:
APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP4" # Or PHP5, depending on your version

I'm not sure in what file you need to put it, but on a Gentoo system it goes in /etc/conf.d/apache2

I am having the same problem. I had apache 1.3 and php4 installed, and they worked. But, I wanted to run qcodo, which requires php5. So I removed apache, and php4, and installed apache2 and php5.

Also apache2 seems to work with html files.

Oddly, when I enter localhost in my url, I get:

http://localhost/apache2-default/

Where does this apache2-default come from?

Also, there was no httpd.conf set up. Is there supposed to be one? Apache2 was complaining about it, so I did a touch httpd.conf in the /etc/apache2 directory, and apache started working. But apache won't work with php5.

walter what distro are you running?

as far as httpd.conf goes (on Fedora at least) httpd.conf resides in the conf directory under your apache root (/etc/apache2 in your case), the core of your configuration will actually reside in a seperate directory: conf.d under your apache root, anything with a '.conf' in that directory is read by apache.

I would make sure that you have the php5 modules set to load in the conf.d/php.conf file.
