Apache Problem

[aditya9999]

Hey guys I am tring to install wordpress on my CentOS Virtual Machine. So far my progress has been as follows:
Installed following through yum:
• mod_ssl
• mysql-server
• php
• php-mysql

Started httpd and mysql
Changed permission on /var/www/html folder through chmod 777 html/

The Apache server is working fine because i can see default through localhost

The problem is that I have placed an index.php page in html folder but it is not opening through localhost. All I get is a blank page. I guess if I can't open such a simple page, my Wordpress install won't work either.


I am new to Linux so please be kind with phrases and terms. Details would be really helpful. I have attached some files for your reference. Looking forward to your kind help. TC.

Setting var/www/html is rather odd. Norrmally, if I'm setting up a site (Centos and Apache), the web pages go under /home. Is there a reason why you selected var instead?

Any errors in the apache error log?
Does /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf exist?

Hey retired1af thanx for your attention.
Some instructions that I followed are from techiecorner. This forum won't let me post URLs so I can't give it to you, but the instructions read like this:

Once both services is running, you can point your browser to localhost and you should see a welcome page from CentOS
If you see that welcome page, you just installed everything successfull.
To test if php is running, go to /var/www/html and create an index.php file with the content below
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and refresh your browser again. If you see a purple PHP information page showing all the php configuration variables, then php is running now.

/var/www/html is the out-of-box defacto standard for apache on all redhat-esque distros I have seen.

Under your conf.d directory, do you have a php.conf file? If not you are missing the module to actually load the php file. Otherwise, we would probably need to look at your error logs to see if there isn't something else going on.

If it is present then apache is loading it on your machine, per the Include statement in your conf file. Also be sure to add index.php to your Directory Index parameter in your conf file.

Usually when a blank page appears, it means you have syntax errors in your php, normally php is not suppose to dump error messages to the browser that is rather insecure.

Try this:
test.php

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

In your browser go to
http://whatever.your.machine.is/test.php

It should load the info page, if it doesn't then you have a missing module.

But if it were a missing module, you would be prompted to download the page itself, as the server would have no idea what to do.

Sorry if i seem erractic I've drank way too much coffee.

Yes the php.conf file is there and below is it's contents:
#
# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

#
# Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
#
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

#
# Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory
# indexes.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php

#
# Uncomment the following line to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps
# files as PHP source code:
#
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Any errors in the apache error log?
Does /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf exist?

PHP is fine, but you are missing quite a few modules in whatever it is you are trying to load

PHP is fine, but you are missing quite a few modules in whatever it is you are trying to load

so what would you suggest? i guess it's all matter of user permissions. i would be a happy person if i could just run a test.php from my Apache.
