php pages are calling a download window @ apache2 @ debian stable

janus_tr · 05-14-2007, 02:44 AM

Hi all,

Briefly: I have php5 and Apache2 successfully installed however when I call my info.php from http://localhost/apache2-default/info.php
it brings me a download window.

I believe I have successfully installed apache2 and php5:

Code:

linux-ultima:~# apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-common libapache2-mod-php5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
apache2 is already the newest version.
php5 is already the newest version.
php5-common is already the newest version.
libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 208 not upgraded.

http://localhost/ displays the "It works" page
php5 is also fine

Code:

linux-ultima:~# php -v
PHP 5.2.0-8+etch3 (cli) (built: Apr 29 2007 10:42:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies

However no php5 entry at httpd.conf

Code:

linux-ultima:~# grep -R "php" /usr/share/apache/default-configs/apache/httpd.conf
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php
    # distribution - see http://www.php.net) will typically use:
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I removed the # sign from AddType application/x-httpd-php line and restart the server via /etc/init.d/apache2 restart command but nothing changed.

My httpd.conf under etc is empty

Code:

linux-ultima:~# cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
linux-ultima:~#

But I have the desired module

Code:

linux-ultima:~# grep -R "php5" /etc/apache2/mods-available/
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf:<IfModule mod_php5.c>
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load:LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
linux-ultima:~#

But it is not enabled I think

Code:

linux-ultima:~# grep -R "php5" /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
linux-ultima:~#

What should I do?

From what i know debian stable uses apache2.conf under /etc/apache2 and not httpd.conf. However apache2.conf needs to have 2 lines uncommented:

Code:

# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

Also double check the php5.conf and php5.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled to look like :

php5.conf

Code:

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

and php5.load

Code:

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

OK.

Lets go step by step:
Under /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file
I have this line by default

Code:

# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

And seems like the configuration of php5.conf is correct

Code:

linux-ultima:~# cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

Moreover php5.load is also fine

Code:

linux-ultima:~# cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

However php5 seems missing here

Code:

linux-ultima:~# cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
alias.load            authz_user.load       dir.conf              perl.conf
auth_basic.load       autoindex.load        dir.load              perl.load
authn_file.load       cgi.load              env.load              setenvif.load
authz_default.load    dav.load              mime.load             status.load
authz_groupfile.load  dav_svn.conf          mod_python.load
authz_host.load       dav_svn.load          negotiation.load

How am I suppose to add php5.conf + php5.load here?

a2enmod php5

It should create symlinks for php5.conf and php5.load in your mods-enabled directory.

janus_tr · 05-21-2007, 09:50 AM

I googled a little but did not get your point.

What am I suppose to do?

I did add these lines to my conf file but nothing changes.

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php

then tried this one but the same

Code:

a2enmod php5

digitalnerds · 05-22-2007, 01:33 AM

a2enmod php5 should be issued as a standalone command from your console. Then you need to restart apache. You do not need to add "a2enmod php5" into your conf. Just execute it from your command line.

Hi there;
I have tried your advise as well as others but sill -- no luck:-(
I run Suse 10.2, Apache2.2 and trying to make work php5. Every tutorial or book I read says different things about .conf files. My Apache httpd.conf is 'broken' in to separate files by Include directive. Php loads but doesn't process scripts -- and web browser brings up download screen....

If there is good guy willing to help it more than welcome

one funny thing there -- FireFox wants to download that script and does nothing when the script is included in html file -- but Konqueror opens test.php and does same as FF when script is part of html....
