Apache displays php code

[zibrnp]

Hello,

I have configured virtual host file on apache and when running php files in the browser I get php code...

Here is my vhost configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin sample(at)sample.com
        ServerName sample.sample.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/test
        ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/test_error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/httpd/test_access.log combined
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html .htm
</VirtualHost>

Could you please suggest what else I need to include or what to check?

Regards

Is PHP installed? How did you install it? It should be installed via yum (versus manually) along with Apache, for a painless Apache+PHP webserver.

Normally, you should be able to do:

yum install httpd php

and

service httpd restart

and be off and running. Maybe you can just back up any modified apache/php config files and reinstall the packages, to be on the safe side. To see if any packages have been modified, you can run:

rpm -qV httpd
rpm -qV php

After confirming that, I'd start with a PHP file in the DocumentRoot first (e.g. /var/www/html/phpinfo.php), to make sure you can get any PHP working at all.

Also you might want to temporarily enable error output in the PHP.ini file (/etc/php.ini, probably).

Hi,

I have solved my problem. It's kind of my fault.
First of all I didn't have this record "LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so" in my http.conf file.
I was thinking that I don't need it because I do have file "php.conf" where mentioned record exists. But file "php.conf" was not loaded by apache.

The problem was that in the file "http.conf", I have specified that config file for virtual host is "Include vhost.conf" and I commented "Include conf.d/*.conf" so because of that "php.conf" was not loaded.

Thanks and sorry for taking your time...

Glad you got it sorted. I did not have to manually do that stuff on my box, though. The packages are already configured to work, which is why I asked. For example, the file:

/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf

belongs to the php package, and loads the module like you had to do.

Then in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, there is this bit:

#
# Load config files from the config directory "/etc/httpd/conf.d".
#
Include conf.d/*.conf

which calls the above php.conf file, which loads the module.

anyway, important thing is, you got it working!
