    Apache2 Not Recognizing PHP

    I just finished installing PHP5 on Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mepis)/Apache2
    using Synaptic. I have tried creating simple html pages, placing them
    in /var/www and pointing the browser at http://127.0.0.1/(those pages)
    and they are displayed correctly.

    I have created a basic PHP page (abc.php) and it looks like:

    <?
    phpinfo();
    ?>

    This page also exists in the /var/www directory and when I point the
    browser to http://127.0.0.1/abc.php, the page gets loaded into a text
    editor.

    How can I fix this?


    TIA, Steve

      Well, you have to put the instructions to recognize page type into the
      httpd.conf. These instructions usually look like this:

      $ grep -i php /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
      LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
      AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
      $

      My PHP pages execute properly.

          Okay, I added the following to my httpd.conf file (which is located in
          /etc/apache2:

          LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
          AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

          When I restart or force-reload the web server, the page loads, but
          displays no info (I am using FF 1.5.0.7). If I have it display source,
          I get:

          <?
          phpinfo();
          ?>

          So, this is an improvement. Any further ideas???

              Looks like you don't have short_open_tag support on (which is good,
              actually.) What if you change the first line to say <?php instead of <?

                  Riemer,

                  Thanks so much for your reply. Works like a charm. And now I even
                  have phpinfo giving info about mysql, which is what I originally wanted
                  before changes on my part seemed to foul everything up.

                  Where does one enable short_open_tag and why do you feel that not
                  having it is good?

                  Thanks again, Steve

                      Normally you can define it in php.ini or any other place you put your
                      PHP configuration directives. In most situations it won't cause any
                      harm, but sometimes it could (potentially) cause confusion with XML
                      tags.
