Default installation of php module on apache fail to work
Last modified: 2008-07-06 07:28:08 EDT
Description of problem: In default installation of httpd and related php module, php scripts fails to be loaded. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 9: 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.x86_64 Server version: Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) Server built: Feb 25 2008 07:05:19 PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Apr 24 2008 10:37:47) Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install default version of httpd and realted php package from yum 2. Start httpd 3. Open with your browser one of yours web page with php code like: - /var/www/html/pippo.php <html><head><title>pippo</title></head> <body><?php echo '<h1>ciao</h1>'; ?> </body></html> Actual results: Firefox display something like this: ciao '; ?> Expected results: That firefox display the right php code result Additional info: I made my own bugfix by adding php.conf in /etc/var/httpd/conf.d/ where there's only welcome.conf and proxy_ajp.conf files. The file is: # Loading module for php (it's courious that in httpd.conf there's not line # about this, but there's others LoadModule directives. Well there's also the # libphp5.so files) LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so AddHandler php5-script .php AddType text/html .php DirectoryIndex index.php
Thank you for reporting this issue. The default php package contains a php.conf file that is placed in /etc/conf.d/. You can check that by executing 'rpm -ql php | grep "/etc/httpd/conf.d"'. The file contains instructions for loading the module and setting the php interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. Why that file was not present on your system is not clear to me. You could try to remove php ('yum remove php') and than reinstall php ('yum install php'). I'm closing this issue as NOTABUG, but feel free to reopen this issue if the problem persists.
