HI!
I thought I've posted already, but my post didn't appear .
So let's begin, part 2
I'm trying to install php5 with apache2 on Feisty.
I upgraded from 6.06 to Feisty recently.
I can't run php scripts with Firefox(dropping download-box invitation)
Can somebody provide me with solution?

PHP 5.2.1 (cli) (built: Apr 26 2007 15:30:37)
Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies

Server version: Apache/2.2.3
Server built: Jan 15 2007 18:14:50

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 7.04
Release: 7.04
Codename: feisty

Thank you.

(Sorry for php7 in title, PHP5 Should REALLY BE)

Yes. You'll need to install apache2, php5, and libapache2-mod-php5.

Then drop all your .php files to /var/www/ and access them via browser http://localhost/your_file.php

EDIT: Use the package manager to install these and you should be fine.

Hope this helps,
vxc

I already did that. 2 times I totally deleted and installed all apache2, php5 and mysql packages.
After installing apache2, it contained empty http.d file. I overwrote httpd.conf from
/usr/local/apache2/conf/original/httpd.conf.
which caused next error:

[Wed May 16 09:33:31 2007] [warn] module php5_module is already loaded, skipping
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
fixed with this link:

After all that, apache2 still not recognize php extension.
httpd.conf includes :
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

and my test.php file is located in /var/www, with permission 0755.

any suggestions?


In bash, testing my.php file with command
$ php my.php
(my.php just includes phpinfo() function)
all environment variables are written.

Problem narrows with Firefox using. Isn't it?

I've got exactly the same problems after upgrade.

No, if you try to save what it returns, you'll see your test.php source code.

That means Apache does not pass php files to the interpreter. Still have no idea what caused that, all the configs seem ok.

P.S. I really wish I didn't upgrade, too much headache...

I got exactly the same problem after I upgrade from ubuntu 6.10 to 7.04. I reinstall the whole system again and agin and tried many ways but still can not solve this problem. My apache 2 now can not let firefox to reading in php files. After seraching on the web I found this link:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=253859

In that post one guy says:
"turns out all i needed was a folder called 'logs' in the root dir of the hosted files (/var/log/www/). i'm not sure if i needed to create the file 'error.log' in the 'logs' folder or not, but doing so caused the problem to go away. after creating said folder and file, run sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and i'm back up and running."

In another post at the following link:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=405377
The issue was fixed by commenting the first line at the top:
#Listen *:80

one guy says that he solved the problem by commenting the first line (#Listen *:80) at the top of his /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file because it overlaps with the other lines in that file.


Note that I have not yet tried them out. I plan to reinstall all things including the system again when I come back from my vocation.

Hope these informations are useful and let's try together to have this problem solved.
