Apache not serving PHP pages ...

Hi,

I've installed Apache and PHP and PHP pages are not working.

I've stuck a simple file (index.php) in the apache web directory:

<?php
echo 'test';
?>

If I navigate to http://localhost I get no apache page, just a directory listing.  If I click index.php, it only displays the file contents.

Error Log:

Does this look like an issue with the Session Cache?  I've never seen this error from a default Arch install.

Re: Apache not serving PHP pages ...

Stupid question, but have you installed PHP and restarted apache after that?

To open your index.php by default, you need to have some apache conf line like this "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html".
To process PHP you need to have loaded the handler ("AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php") and the php module ("LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so").

Re: Apache not serving PHP pages ...

Did you add in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf the line:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

Re: Apache not serving PHP pages ...

No, I've never had to do that before- I've only ever set up LAMP servers on Debian systems (which seem to have that set up by default).

I'll check the settings as per the Wiki (duh...I should have read the Wiki before posting!).

Cheers.

Re: Apache not serving PHP pages ...

Reading your server signature: "Apache/2.2.11 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8k DAV/2 configured" I'd presume PHP is either not installed or not enabled in your config. Another option may be a patch that prevents PHP from adding to the Apache signature (I think Suhosin does that).

Another thing to look at would be to have "index.php" mentioned in the DirectoryIndex option from the apache config file.

If you haven't followed the wiki and added the appropriate 'include' directive to httpd.conf then that will be your problem.

That was it.
