From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Installing PHP packages does not change Apache config, so it is impossible to use php scripts. I have to put all necessary configuration directives for PHP into Apache config manualy! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RH 8.0 with apache and php 2.Try to access any php script 3.Be suprized - it does not work Actual Results: It is impossible to use php scripts after installing RH 8.0 Expected Results: PHP package script should add all necessary directives to apache config file. I should not do it by hand! It is a very serious BUG! Additional info: Should be fixed IMMEDIATELY!!!
The Apache configuration directives for PHP are placed in /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf, which is loaded by Apache by default. What config directives did you need to add to httpd.conf? There are a number of reasons why PHP scripts which worked with 7.x may not work with the 8.0 PHP packages; mostly these are documented in the migration guide at /usr/share/doc/httpd-2.0.40/migration.html, which I suggest you read. One issue not mentioned is that the "short_open_tag" config option is turned off by default in /etc/php.ini, so PHP scripts which use the "<? ... ?>" syntex will not work. This can be changed in /etc/php.ini.
Thanks for fast reaction. Probably I was not right - php is active and a reason in this short_open_tag. I've used as test php stuff scripts from RH's standard "wordtrans" package. It just shows me the php sources :-) So probably it is a bug in "wordtrans" package, not in php. So this report should be renamed to "wordtrans php scripts bug". But IMHO it was extremly BAD idea to set short_open_tag to off by default. To my mind you should change it, otherwise you will have a lot of complains about php not working. So, even if packages that a part of 8.0 distribution affected by this setting, it is really better to change this default. Sorry for wrong report :-) I have not enough time to check all the things. My idea was that at least packages that are part of distribution should work :-).
