php not displaying

ct_hamster · 05-07-2009, 09:15 AM

Hello,

I am having a problem with PHP files. I have installed the files for running PHP but when I create a sample file:

--------------------------

<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
</body>
</html>

--------------------------

The webpage shows up blank and the source shows the same thing displayed above.

i followed the instructions on how to setup PHP from:

http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/linux/install_apache.htm

is there something i am missing that needs to be setup?

Computer OS is Fedora 10

Where did you put the php file? What is the Document Root entry in your httpd.conf file? I think it should be /var/www/html in Fedora but I don't use Fedora. Do you have 'mod-php enabled in httpd.conf? Also check to see if you have: Directory Index: index.php and index.shtml. Add'.httpd-php .php to Add Type Application if not there.

In your php.ini file you need the correct doc_root entry, /var/www/html?

In those setup instructions you were told to run phpinfo did this show anything?

Is the html showing up in the source code?

Check the php logs usually in /var/logs
