Redhat 7.3 Fresh Install PHP files not being parsed

[ccasale]

Hello Everyone,

I just installed Redhat 7.3 - basically a pretty standard install with the Apache web server.

When I try to make a PHP page to test to see if it is being parsed all I get is a blank window.

In the apache.conf I see this:

<IfDefine HAVE_PHP>
LoadModule php_module modules/mod_php.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP3>
LoadModule php3_module modules/libphp3.so
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>

then later in the files is this:

<IfDefine HAVE_PHP>
AddModule mod_php.c
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP3>
AddModule mod_php3.c
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
AddModule mod_php4.c
</IfDefine>

Those are the only references to the php modules in the conf file. Any idea how I tell apache that yes infact I do have php?

Any help on this would be appreciated!

Thanks,

-Carl

Just in case it is the PHP script that is incorrect, have you tried testing it with just a phpinfo script?

The reason I ask, is that usually if httpd is not parsing PHP scripts, then they will display the source code as plain text as opposed to just a blank page; this usually occurs when the PHP script cannot be parsed due to invalid syntax...

That was correct - I was using the only syntax for opening up the tags for PHP:

<?

code...

?>

when i started to do:

<?php

code...

?>

It started to work!

Thanks,
