I recentely reinstalled apache/php and now i'm having php problems.

xjasonx

Apache works fine, but it can't read php files correctly anymore. Instead of displaying php pages correctly, it shows the php code in the browser.

I've loaded the php4module httpd.conf, I added the proper addtype directives in httpd.conf and I put php.ini in windows sytem root. I've installed this before, so I don't think i'm missing anything. Someone mentioned that it has something to do with my httpd.conf and that it's not parsing php code or something.

Any help would be appreciated.

You need to add index.php.var etc to the extentions to accept. Forgot what the parts called but you'll see something like

index.html index.html.var

xjasonx

That didn't work. This is what I added.

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.php.var

Hi,

can you post the parts of your httpd.conf regarding the php stuff ? Which versions of apache/php do you use ?

xjasonx

I added this to my httpd.conf file.

LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I put php4ts.dll and php.ini in the windows folder.

Thanks

If you don't get your files partse at all put the php dll in the same folder where apache's executable is and restart the server.

Also try the phpinfo function to see whether php works at all or not.

I've tryed that, and I just tryed again. Heres what happens when you go to test.php

Hi,

I tried to reproduce that problem and didn't manage to do so. The problem you describe appears only if either the module couldn't be loaded or the AddType directive is not added to the httpd.conf.

Can you post your httpd.conf so we can look what might be wrong ?

xjasonx

Heres a url to the httpd.conf file. http://24.31.36.232/httpd.txt

Unbelieveable,

this is exactly what I did and it works for me perfectly. Which version of php and apache do you use (I installed apache 2.0.45 and php-4.3.1).

Make sure that there is no older php4ts.dll in your system32 directory or something like this. Did you install apache as a service or do you start it in a console. Look for errors in the error_log of the apache server.

Did you install the installer package of php or the one packaged as zip file ?

Make sure that the engine is enabled in the php.ini (engine=on),
but I doubt that this is the problem since the engine is enabled per default in the php.ini.

Did you modify your php.ini

xjasonx

I am using the save versions you just mentioned.

It's possible that theres an older php.ini or php4ts.dll, but they would be of the same version.

I haven't edited my php.ini file.

I used the zip packaged because the installer doesn't come with everything.

Hi,

I read a post about a user that had similar problems. He was able to solve the problem by ... errr ... putting an empty line after the LoadModule line, e.g.

LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache2.dll

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Don't know if that works, but you may try it.

savvas

I have just noticed that you are not adding the php module in the apache modules!! Loading it is half of the job!!

so use the following:

LoadModule php4_module "\path\php4apache.dll"

ClearModuleList
AddModule mod_php4.c

#AddModule mod_vhost_alias.c

tsinka

Hi,

AFAIK AddModule doesn't exist anymore with apache 2.

Did you try to setup apache so that it uses php as cgi ?

xjasonx

I think on my last install, I did something with cgi. I'll try that again.

xjasonx

Nope it still doesn't work. I added this.

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

tsinka

Did you try to add the following lines to your httpd.conf ?

<Files "*.php">
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

xjasonx

After every change I made, i've been restarting it, but I guess it didn't really restart it. I just restarted my computer and now when I access http://localhost I get a not found error, so I need to look through the httpd.conf file again and fix some of the changes I made.

xjasonx

I deleted the scriptalias part then restarted my comp. php files are working now sorta. test.php(phpinfo()) works, but the php files that are for my site still display the code in the browser.

[edit]Is ther a way I can restart apache without restarting my comp? the usual way isn't working.
