ERROR - PHP files prompt FIle Save As / Open File With browser dialog window

Colin_White

[Solaris9 - Sparc - PHP4.3.2 - Apache 1.3.27 - mod_ssl2.8.14-1.3.27 - OpenLDAP2.1.17 - OpenSSL0.9.7b]

I've had this combination working for a while on a test box. When I tried to build it again on another server with the same OE, it misbehaves.

It appears my Apache is serving up the .php file and my browser is prompting me to save it. HTML and other files are served ok.

If I create a .php file with <?phpinfo()>, I'm prompted to Save As or Open File With. If I rename it .html, I get a blank page.

I'm guessing my apache/libexec/libphp4.so is not being loaded correctly or corrupted?

I've tried to attach output from CLI# php -i > php-i.txt but it doesn't seem to appear in this forum. I can send or post it if helpful.

The result of PHP 'make test' shows these errors -

SKIP PEAR_Error: basic test [pear/tests/pear_error.phpt]
SKIP PEAR_Error: die mode [pear/tests/pear_error2.phpt]
SKIP PEAR_Error: default error handling [pear/tests/pear_error3.phpt]

SKIP PEAR_Error: expected errors [pear/tests/pear_error4.phpt]

Are these related?? Critical?? The package seems to 'make install' successfully.

My apache httpd.conf includes -

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

AddModule mod_php4.c

DirectoryIndex index.html index.swf index.php

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I successfully compiled Apache_1.3.27 with -

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=ssl --enable-shared=ssl --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=so

I successfully compiled PHP4.3.2 with -

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-zlib=/usr --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-netbpm=/usr/local/netbpm --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl

Can anyone help shed some light on this??

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

sincere there is a SKIP in front of the lines when you make test these errors shouldn't be critical.

Can you post your httpd.conf ? Check the error_log to see if the php module appears on the startup line.

Hi,

you put the LoadModule directive inside the <IfDefine SSL> block which would only be parsed if you start apache with SSL enabled. Try to put LoadModule outside, after </IfDefine>.

tsinka,

When I tried to move the LoadModule outside the <IfDefine> it seemed to cause 'apachectl configtest' to fail with an error.

Anyway, I proceeded to do a complete rebuild and have been able to restore normal services. Thoug this leaves me feeling dissatisfied that we never got to the cause of this behavour.

However for reference, I suspect this problem is related to the use of SSL certificates with PHP...

It seems a malformed or corrupted certificate will casue the browser to try save it. Somehow this behavour seems to extend to .php files too. Once this is cached it can become a pain to flush.

Everything now seems to be working (for now ;-). If the symptom reappears I'll post a folow-up to this thread.

Many Thanks for your prompt assistance and suggestions.
