Patricia_BOH_2783 : 31/12/05 03:24 PM : Incident created -   Hi! I have installed the Powerpack version of Mandriva, and I included both Apache and PHP in the installation. I get the "it works!" page as well as my own html files displayed correctly, but apache is not procesing php extension files. I have tried finding out whats wrong by looking into the httpd.conf file: The following line appears on the httpd.conf file, after all the LoadModule... lines: Include modules.d/*.conf When I look at the modules.d directory, there is a file named 70_mod_php.conf which contains the following code: IfDefine HAVE_PHP5 IfModule !mod_php5.c LoadModule php5_module extramodules/mod_php5.so /IfModule IfDefine IfModule mod_php5.c PHPINIDir /etc /IfModule IfModule mod_mime.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps IfModule IfModule mod_php5.c IfModule mod_php5.c DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.php3 index.php4 index.php5 /IfModule /IfModule ------------- Doesnt that mean that the php files should be procesed? I have tried adding: LoadModule php5_module extramodules/mod_php5.so and also: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps directly onto the httpd.conf file but it still doesnt work. I thank anyone who can give me a clue as to what is happening...
Linegod_7611 : 02/01/06 05:52 PM : Reply received -   Do the following: - Remove the additions you made to httpd.conf - Create a file in '/var/www/html' called 'phptest.php' with the following contents <?php phpinfo(); ?> - Open a browser and go to http://localhost/phptest.php If it works, php is being loaded. If not, submit the output of: # rpm -qa|grep php ------------ Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
Linegod_7611 : 02/01/06 05:57 PM : Reply received -   And just to be on the safe side, remove the top 'IfModule mod_php5.c' and bottom '/IfModule' from your 70_mod_php.conf config file (I assumed it was a typo, but it may be an error) where it is doubled up. Then restart apache (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart) ------------ Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
Patricia_BOH_2783 : 02/01/06 09:47 PM : More info provided -   Thanks for your help, it works. I assume I must add my .php files to the /var/www/html directory (until I get a grip on the httpd.conf file???) Thanks again.
