apache2 won't parse php


This problem seems to happen everytime I try to set up a Lamp stack. Apache won't deliver php pages, instead opening kedit and displaying the code as a text file, including phpinfo.php.

I've been through all the configs and it all seems set up the same way as working servers I have access too, although I'm not even sure how you make php "run"

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Irvken,

Have you compiled apache with php support?

Interestingly enough I've never done that, I avoid compilation like the plague and use off the shelf binaries usually, but I've always managed to get php webapps working in the past with a combination of apt-get's and conf edits. I can just never remember which ones and in what order.

Code:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4
should do it.

libapache2-mod-php4 is already the newest version

I thought so, but then realised that if apache was running too and turned it off. I restarted apache2 but nothing seems to be happening. I've decided to install another app now that requires php5. I've got that via synaptic but without apache2 running that's not going to work either.

I started apache2 with /etc/init.d/apache2 start and there were no errors, but it doesn't seem to be responding to requests and the logs are empty!

Could it be something in the apache2 conf files?

ok, apache 2 didn't run, so I reinstalled the working apache. I've also installed php5 (part of another project) and libapache2-mod-php5 but no joy, apache still doesn't parse php files - see for example http://irvken.homleinux.net/phpinfo.php

Is compilation looming on the horizon, unfortunately I nothing about it besides "make, make install etc."

just to finish off, the problem in the end was that the apache2 init script was not working properly, I can now launch apache2 from the command, and am investigating the problem, ta for all your help
