WordPress
Error: PHP is not running

WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.

I Had installed php by
PHP
#cd /opt/apps/apache/src
#gzip -d /opt/apps/softwares/php-5.2.13.tar.gz
#tar -xvf /opt/apps/softwares/php-5.2.13.tar
#./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-config-file-
path=/etc/httpd/conf/php.conf --with-zlib --with-
mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config
#make
#make install
[root@localhost ~]# ps uax | grep php

Create the WordPress config file outside web root:

# mv wp-config-sample.php ../wp-config.php
# curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/

Copy the output to your clipboard before editing wp-config.php.

# nano ../wp-config.php

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'enter+the+strong+password+you+defined');

If you don't need any additional parameters, have you tried installing php from centos repositories?

Additionally, you might want to make sure php is enabled in httpd:

Uncomment the following line from the apache config file
and add 'index.php' to the following line in the apache config file.

so that it looks as follows:

Btw, there are lots of tutorials on setting up LAMP on CentOS.

Also, in your web directory create a small file info.php and put in it: and then open http://your.domain.blah/info.php and see what happens, you should get a rather nice display of information about your PHP installation. If you don't then it's not installed properly.

Also check your httpd config, the "RemoveHandler .php" could be causing apache to NOT handle .php files correctly.

Try reinstalling everything or try the guide below.

It sounds as if the php and the other webserver components don't know where to find each other.

I know that when I set up a LAMPP server manually, the installation command for php had to include arguments to tell the php how to communicate with the other components. Of course, I found this out the hard way.

Here's an example:
