Hi bloodstreetboy,

Where is your php.ini file located whether it is inside /etc/php/apache2 or /etc/lamp/php/apache2

not sure whether it worths for solving your issue.

Thanks&regards,
Dinesh.

When I run
$ sudo a2enmod php5
or
$ sudo a2enmod php
it shows
ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!
or
ERROR: Module php does not exist!

It means you do not have php5.conf & php5.load or php.conf & php.load in /etc/apache2/mods-available.
You should create them there.

bloodstreetboy · 03-07-2013, 11:31 PM

I don't know how to create them.

Make two files php5.conf & php5.load in /etc/apache2/mods-available

Contents of php5.conf

Code:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
     AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
   </IfModule>

Contents of php5.load

Code:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

but it is necessary there should be file libphp5.so in /usr/lib/apache2/modules , otherwise it will not work.

It doesn't work, I am still getting the download link of php.
I have restarted the apache2 after creating both files.

fortran · 03-08-2013, 12:40 AM

wait, I was waiting for your reply if you have libphp5.so or not.
Because if you don't have, the solution will not work for you and I will have to tell you other method.
But it looks like you have the file otherwise you would mention it.

Now make links of these two files in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
Run these commands on terminal.

Code:

$ ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf
$ ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load

When you will create the links, now you should try

Code:

$ sudo a2enmod php5

I hope, it will not give the error
ERROR: Module php5 does not exist! or ERROR: Module php does not exist!

It should give the message.

Code:

Enabling module php.
Run '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' to activate new configuration!

Now restart apache2 and try to access your index.php

I've just had a skim-read of this thread; but you may find it worthy to try setting up a virtual directory for your web project.

Personally the way I do this:

create folder for project under /var/www (assuming this is your web root) i.e. /var/www/mywebproject
Set permissions for this directory (this may vary depending on your project)

I normally use: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/mywebproject

Then make a copy of /etc/apache2/sites-available/default : sudo cp default mywebproject

Then change the web root within mywebproject (its a config file) to match what it should be...........

Make any other pertinent changes to this file and save it out.

Then run sudo a2ensite mywebproject

This may help..................
