How To Configure PHP With Apache

cmnorton · 04-28-2008, 07:48 AM

I have PHP CLI working.

What do I need to configure in apache to get this to run:

<html>
<title>Test index.html page.</title>
<body>
hello
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>

Where this is /var/www/index.html

that depends on what distro you are running, in most cases you just have to install the php-mysql module.

Have you installed the mod_php(4,5) module for your version of Apache?

Is it configured?

... check those things.

Thank you for the pointers. localhost displays the output from phpinfo();, when index.php is used. I have one more question:

How do I tell apache to execute embedded php in html pages or is that not possible?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

If you're wanting files with a .html extension to be parsed by PHP, then I think a short answer is you can't.

You could, in theory, configure you mimetypes to treat HTML files as PHP files, but that might have adverse affects else where...

Maybe someone with more knowledge on this subject will give you a better answer.

Thanks. Now, I know to make my html pages with .php extensions.
