[SOLVED] How to get PHP working in users public_html folder?

Hi there,
I managed to get PHP to work in /srv/http. While HTML is doing fine in my ~/public_html folder I can't for the life of me figure out how to execute PHP.

According to the Wiki, I commented/ uncommented:

#LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

then added:

LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
AddHandler php7-script .php

and

Include conf/extra/php7_module.conf

to my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Now while I can't find any mention of user directories in regard to PHP in the English Wiki the German one suggests to add:

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
  AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
  Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch ExecCGI
  <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Limit>
  <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
  </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf. The ExecCGI looked promising but sadly this also has zero effect.

I keep reading about either commenting out or substitute Off with On in:

<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
        <Directory /home/*/public_html>
            php_admin_value engine Off
        </Directory>
    </IfModule>

in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf on Debian based system. Well, obviously this doesn't hold true for Arch. But I wondered if there was an equivalent but couldn't find anything.

Searching the web gives repeating articles about this on Ubuntu and friends but seems to be inexistent on Arch. Did I miss something so obvious that everyone else is getting it?

What error(s) do you get from php files in the user directories?

At very least, you'll need to add those paths to open_basedir

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I'm getting a simple Server Error! Error 500

I suppose you meant the open_base dir in php.ini?

I uncommented and added /home/<myusername>/public_html to it and restarted httpd.service.
Still the same...

Is there anything I can do or post ( any debug commands, logfiles... ) that are helpful?

Thank heavens (and Trilby) I did it!

For the sake of completeness and to help future visitors:

As I stated in my first post the german WIKI suggests these settings:

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
  AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
  Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch ExecCGI
  <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Limit>
  <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
  </LimitExcept>
</Directory>

I changed:

  <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Limit>

to

  <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
       Require all granted
  </Limit>

and now everything's working as expected.
