PHP/MySQL/Apache

I've just installed them, and I've got the apache page with the local address that basically says well done. When I did a simple test:

#echo "<? phpinfo() ?>" > /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test.php

and looked at the file in my web browser I simply see:

<? phpinfo() ?>

So I'm guessing PHP isn't working!

I am such a noob, really, this is my first experience in anything like this! Handholding is required

To start, did you

Yep, it did say to check something about multiple instances of it being install though?

Also I'm getting this :?:

root@knight matt # /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
* Stopping apache2...
Syntax error on line 44 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/lib/apache2/conf/ssl/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

Please don´t mix two problems. Remove -D SSL for now and try the above...

Ahh! Thank's dude

It was because I had -D SSL -D PHP5

All works now

OK. If you want SSL, then you need some certificates. See Apache website - there is a FAQ on this topic.

Once you have them, set those in /etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/40_mod_ssl.conf, put -D SSL back, set up 41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf and restart Apache.

I just installed PHP and Apache2 and would have never thought to look at that config file line, which was causing a problem for me as well. Thanks, keep up the good work!
