[SOLVED] Apache problems.

Do you have the apr and apr-util packages installed ?

Didier Spaier · 08-13-2012, 02:50 PM

More generally, did you make a full install of Slackware 13.37?

ls /var/log/packages | grep apr-

Ok, major force is needed.

rm -rf /etc/httpd
slackpkg remove httpd php (because deleting /etc/httpd will delete php.ini)
slackpkg install httpd php
apachectl start

If this failes:

1) you have upgraded your system to current at some point and you don`t know this
2) you screwed very bad the system

This answer looks a little strange to me, as in Slackware 13.37 there is no XFCE series of packages.

Just wondering: are you sure you didn't install Slackware current instead of Slackware 13.37? I ask that because there *is* an XFCE series of package at present, but only in Slackware current.

So, which media did you use to install Slackware ? If you downloaded an ISO image from a mirror, please indicate the exact name of that ISO.

Other than that, please tell copy/paste here the line that you un commented in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors.

This worked, as it has before but the second I touch the httpd.conf it seems to kill itself, maybe im just not editing the httpd.conf for php correctly.

Update:
The second i edited httpd.conf, the only line i touched was that i uncommented the:

Code:

Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf

and now same problem again?

For the moment do not edit httpd.conf, it should be as initially installed with "slackpkg install".

Only when Apache will be working you may begin a specific configuration.

Ok that is done, it works now,but I'd like to get php working. My server works because i can go to localhost in web browser and it says "It Works!". If i go to localhost/index.php, i just shows me a text version of the php instead of actually executing the php:
index.php:

Code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

^It should show php information, but instead it just shows the underlying code.

Now i understand that i need to edit httpd.conf to get php working, but if I do it causes problems.

Uncomment the following line in httpd.conf:

#Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf

Try to edit your configuration with a console editor (pico, nano, vi). Maybe the X editor is breaking the text in your httpd.conf

I use vim, but ill try to use pico and see if that helps. I'd hope vim isn't failing me like that.

Ok tried doing it with pico, and same problem, it just causes server to not work?

even:

Code:

root@reptaur-/srv/httpd/htdocs# apachectl -t
Syntax OK
