php with apache after full install

Greg21 · 01-24-2004, 03:30 PM

I just finished a full default install of slackware 9.1. The apache works right out of the box. I got mysql workiny by following the instructions on their website. I can't get php working. I tried uncommenting out the files at the end of the httpd.conf file. I also tried adding the lines directly to the httpd.conf file. Nothing works. What am i missing, what do I need to do to get php working with apache? Do I need to compile php from source (its installed by a package during the slack install right now) ?

Help

and thanks

alright... it works with me out of the box, so it should work for you..
make sure the files are called .php and make sure they are executable
chmod +x file.php
check in the conf files in /etc/apache if the configuration is not completely different than your previous distro or maybe the php package wasn't installed correctly... re-download them and reinstall them...
or give us some more info on error message and such

root@bert:/var/www# apachectl start
[Sat Jan 24 17:17:27 2004] [warn] module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping
[Sat Jan 24 17:17:27 2004] [warn] module mod_ssl.c is already added, skipping
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd started

and the end of my httpd.conf file looks like:

# ==> 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

# ==> mod_ssl configuration settings <==
#
# PACKAGES REQUIRED: apache (N series) and openssl (N series)
#
Include /etc/apache/mod_ssl.conf

When I try and load php files after starting the server that way I only get blank pages.

I am trying to load a page containing <?php php_info(); ?> and one with <?php echo "test.."; ?>

If I can supply any other infromation let me know and I will.

Did you make sure they are executable like nesware said?

yeah.. what's your hostname, what's your hostname in httpd.conf
what url do you use in what browser and what does it show?

The webserver works fine. I can view .html pages fine through it. For some reason php wont work.

I access it via localhost, though it also works by ip from other computers.

Got it. Not sure how, but I did.

Hi Greg21,

I am having exactly the same problem as what you faced. You really dont know what you did to make it work? If you do, can you please tell me? Thanks.

bulzbb · 02-29-2004, 12:02 AM

Nevermind my earlier post. I somehow got it working too, after struggling for the last few hours. All I did is restarting the daemons (#apachectl restart) after editing the httpd.conf (note: restarting the box itself wont fix the problem).

Cheers.

Can i know what have you editted in your httpd.conf file cause i'm also cant get php work even if i restarted the apache server. Thanks

bulzbb · 02-29-2004, 10:15 PM

Just uncomment this line (which located almost at the end of the last page):

Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

Cheers

Ninja_212 · 02-29-2004, 10:40 PM

I've done that before but it gives me a message

module mod_php is already added

and it still gives me blank page anytime i try to load a .php file... do you have any suggestion. thanks

bulzbb · 02-29-2004, 10:44 PM

Yes, it will say that, because in /etc/apache/mod_php.conf, there is this line:

AddModule mod_php4.c

Now, that module has been added somewhere. Thus the message you receive. Once you uncommented that line, you have to restart apache by typing (as root):

/usr/sbin/apacectl restart

It should work then.

Cheers.

Greetings! I have slackware linux 10 distrib, and i also have sm trublz in setting up a phpbb2 forum. Thats what in my httpd.conf:

Code:

# ==> 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

# ==> mod_ssl configuration settings <==
#
# PACKAGES REQUIRED:  apache (N series) and openssl (N series)
#
Include /etc/apache/mod_ssl.conf

Thats what in mod_php.conf

Code:

#
# 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

Thats what apache says after apachectl restart

Code:

root@portal:/etc/apache# apachectl restart
/usr/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd restarted
root@portal:/etc/apache#

Thats what in error log

Code:

[Wed Sep  8 11:59:45 2004] [notice] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart
[Wed Sep  8 11:59:46 2004] [notice] Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) PHP/4.3.7 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Wed Sep  8 11:59:46 2004] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem)

When i try 2 load test.php file via apche, that contains of this

Code:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

its ok, it says all info about my php, but when i try to run sm file from forum phpbb2, it fails, i can only see a source php code in my browser.

Ohh, sorry, while i were typing this, my problem fixed

I tryed to run the php script with a clock with such params:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 nobody nobody 17982 1999-03-01 08:57 COPYING*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 nobody nobody  3085 2000-08-03 20:03 LISEZMOI*

HI all!

I'm tring to make php+apache working on my Slack 10! I've installed all as packages!
MySQL is installed too!

Apache is working ok and PHP code is processed!!

Code:

# ==> 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

# ==> mod_ssl configuration settings <==
#
# PACKAGES REQUIRED: apache (N series) and openssl (N series)
#
Include /etc/apache/mod_ssl.conf

If I try to uncomment last line (Include /etc/apache/mod_ssl.conf) Apache doesn't start 'cause can't find mod_ssl.conf!!!! SSL is installed but I have no mod_ssl.conf file....why????where is it???

Uncommenting only mod_php.conf Apache starts correctly and PHP code is executed

Should you help me please????
