Apache2 not processing PHP4 pages on Debian Sarge


Hi all,

I recently installed the .deb packages of Apache2 and php4 which I've been told should work out of the box but for some reason not on my machine.

I have read the apache2 and php4 README files and Googled. I have found that other people have posted similar threads and have been told to check that
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
are enabled in their httpd.conf file
they are not enabled in my htppd.conf file because it seems to be superceeded by the apache2.conf file. My httpd.conf says
Code:
# This is here for backwards compatability reasons and to support
#  installing 3rd party modules directly via apxs2, rather than
#  through the /etc/apache2/mods-{available,enabled} mechanism.
#
#LoadModule mod_placeholder /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_placeholder.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php and
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps are commented out by default in my apache2.conf file because they are in the php4.conf file which gets included.

apache2.conf
Code:
# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
$ cat php4.conf shows
Code:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
and $ cat php4.load shows

Code:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so
the path is correct.

I did try uncommenting AddType application/x-httpd-php .php and
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps in my apache2.conf anyway (and restarted apache2) but it didn't have an effect, I also put them in my httpd.conf (and restarted) also with no effect. I tried including php4.load and php4.conf in the httpd.conf but when I restarted that time it said
Code:
Restarting web server: Apache2
[Sat Jan 29 17:27:34 2005] [warn] module php4_module is already loaded, skipping
.
I have just seen my apache2-doc in /etc/apache2/conf.d/ it only mentions handling html files. Could this be the root of my problem?
apache2-doc
Code:
AliasMatch ^/apache2-default/manual(?:/(?:de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/$1"
AliasMatch ^/manual(?:/(?:de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru))?(/.*)?$ "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/$1"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/apache2-doc/manual/">
    Options Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from  127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    <Files *.html>
        SetHandler type-map
    </Files>

    SetEnvIf Request_URI ^/manual/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)/ prefer-language=$1
    RedirectMatch 301 ^/manual(?:/(de|en|es|fr|ja|ko|ru)){2,}(/.*)?$ /manual/$1$2
</Directory>
please explain things clearly as I'm still a

Thak you for your attention

probably you are editing the wrong file (im guessing only). the httpd.conf file belongs to apache_1.3.x very likely. place the

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .php
in the config file that belongs to apache2.x.x
then restart the server

i dont know debian but that should work anyway

good luck

j.

Use apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4

In my case this was the solution.

Sorry, I had to put my attempts at getting php running aside for a while to study for an exam . A missing libapache2-mod-php4 is not my problem as it is installed I will now read this httpd reference manual and I hope that helps, I have glanced at it already and it seemed a bit over my head but hopefully I can understand it when I take the time to read it properly

I'm using apache2 & php4 for snort and Acid and they are working fine.

What i did,

apt-get install Apache2

php4

libapache-mod-php4

(i rebooted here because i had to go home with my laptop but don't think it matters)

and it worked.

I left out a lot other things that are needed to make snort and acid working but don't matter if this here above doesn't work I can give you the whole installation procedure. Only i'm still working on the details so maybe you've to wait a few days.

handlers!

Hey,

I've had the same problem with nearly every server install on any ubuntu machine I've ever craeted. In the end the solution was to add the php _handlers_ (not just the AddType). Basically, this is a line that start with AddHandler..blahblah..php4.

Except, that I can't remember how I did it and am now looking for it. I think this simply got lost somewhere when the Modules were moved into included files rather than an embedded list, and it's been a problem ever since.

When I find it, I'll post again (perhaps I should have waited,,, hmmmmm)

UPDATE: look at http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews
