LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) Problem

gamehack · 08-17-2004, 08:56 AM

Hello,

My Slack is 9.0 I'm trying to get the typical LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) configuration running. But Apache won't serve up a PHP file properly. That is, each time I browse to test.php, the browser asks if I want to download the file.

I've added the following lines to my httpd.conf file:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddType appliation/x-httpd-php .php
AddType appliation/x-httpd-php-source .phps

So, any suggestions how to fix this ?

Thanks

I don't know which version of Apache is on LAMP but latest on Apache (at least on Slackware) moved all the libs to libexec/apache instead of libexec so try: LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so

that's not the problem

the library is on the place it's written

So the problem is somewhere else...

"AddType appliation/x-httpd-php .php
AddType appliation/x-httpd-php-source .phps"

If you pasted that from your configuration then it should be application instead of appliation.

If not, do you get any error messages or something?

It's not pasted, i wrote it. Sorry my fault. The problem is that I don't get any error messages.

Mmm, very weird.
I was seeing my apache config file, and httpd.conf has a line: Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

Then in the file mod_php.conf i've the lines you pasted above. This shouldn't interfere, however it tells in a comment that php needs 4 packages installed to run properly: openssl-solibs (or openssl), gmp, mysql and of course apache. Check if you have them.

Btw, double check the lib at libexec instead of libexec/apache, i know you did, just in case

Here are some excerpts from my web site ( http://shilo.is-a-geek.com/slack/apache19.html ) that may help you.

Now sometimes your web pages are gonna end with .htm or .html.
Other times, you may want to use web pages that end in .php. Trust me on
this. So next up, we're gonna find a section that looks like this:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm
</IfModule>

And we're gonna make it look like this:

# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.shtm index.php
</IfModule>

The last thing that we are going to do is allow are web server to
run php scripts. Why? I like this little program called squirrelmail. It uses
php. This is something I had to do to get it to work. Find a section that looks
like this:

# ==> mod_php configuration settings <==
#
# PACKAGES REQUIRED: openssl-solibs (A series) and/or openssl (N series),
# mysql (AP series), gmp (L series), and apache (N series)
#
#Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

And we're gonna make it look like this:

# ==> mod_php configuration settings <==
#
# PACKAGES REQUIRED: openssl-solibs (A series) and/or openssl (N series),
# mysql (AP series), gmp (L series), and apache (N series)
#
Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

That wraps up the configuration in the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file. We still
have one more step to do (At least I did before things started working).
You need to open up the file named /etc/apache/mod_php.conf. Here's
what mine used to look like:

#
# mod_php - PHP Hypertext Preprocessor module
#

# Load the PHP module:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so

# Tell Apache to feed all *.php files through the PHP module:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# This will display PHP files in colored syntax form. Use with caution.
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

This didn't work for me. I had to change mine to look like this:

#
# mod_php - PHP Hypertext Preprocessor module
#

#LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so
#AddModule mod_php4.c

# Tell Apache to feed all *.php files through the PHP module
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

# This will display PHP files in colored syntax form. Use with caution.
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
