[RESOLVED] Code shows or blank page

The_Baron

Hello, I used the guide on this forum to setup Apache and PHP. Followed it perfectively (at least I think I did).

Now my problem:

Here is the code:

<html>
<head>
<title>My First PHP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo();
?> 
</body>
</html>

When I run it through Firefox it only shows the code, when ran through IE it doesnt show anything.

If anyone could help it would be great.

Thanks!

Did you name your file say, phpinfo.php?

The_Baron

Nope, I've named it index.php

laserlight

Nope, I've named it index.php

Ah, that's good enough. So, we can guess that something must be wrong with your installation. What exactly were the instructions that you followed, and what version of Apache and PHP did you install, on which operating system?

Guide:http://phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?t=10341740
Apache:apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
PHP:php-5.2.5-Win32.zip
OS:Windows XP Pro

Thanks!

The instructions look okay. Personally, I install PHP5 (from the zip archive) as an Apache 2.2 module using the instructions from the PHP Manual:
Installation on Windows systems
Manual Installation Steps
Apache 2.0.x on Microsoft Windows

If you do not want to redo your installation and follow the PHP manual's instructions (which are almost the same as bpat1434's instructions, methinks), you will have to wait for bpat1434 to come and check the problem. In the meantime, I suggest that you post what exactly you did, including the paths used. After all, these instructions give sample configuration settings, but during the course of installation, you might have accidentally been inconsistent in configuring your own settings.

After reading PHP.net manual, I noticed I set PHP to think I'm using Apache 2, not Apache 2.2.X

Now another problem, both Firefox and IE now just try to connect to the server and do nothing else.

Can you show us the modifications you made to your httpd.conf file?

As you noted, you're using Apache 2.2.x, so you'll need the php5apache2_2.dll module.

The_Baron

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

# PHP
#Include conf/extra/httpd-php.conf

I'm sure thats all I edited.

bradgrafelman

Well then that's definitely your problem... the Include line is commented out by the #, so that it is never processed by Apache.

laserlight

Eh, that is a comment. It should be:

# PHP
Include conf/extra/httpd-php.conf

The_Baron

Sadly that hasnt made a difference 🙁

I thought I done it right because all the other things that looked similar were like I had it.

Thanks!

laserlight

You did restart the server, right?

The_Baron

Yep, I make sure I do it every time I edit a .conf file.

bradgrafelman

Can you show us the contents of the httpd-php.conf file (double check the filename while you're at it - you have Windows set to show file extensions, right?)? Also double-check the path - the httpd-php.conf file is in <Apache's Dir>\conf\extra\ right?

The_Baron

file extensions are always shown.

.conf are fine and in the right place.

EDIT forgot to add this:

# PHP 5 as CGI
<Directory "C:/WebServer/PHP">
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /php5/ "C:/WebServer/PHP"
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5
Action application/x-httpd-php5 "/php5/php-cgi.exe"


#
# PHP 5 as Module
LoadModule php5_module "C:/WebServer/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"

<IfModule php5_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
PHPIniDir "C:/WebServer/PHP"
</IfModule>

Thanks!

EDIT: for some reason its working now.
