PHP with Apache2

[mactoo]

I've installed apache 2, that works OK
but I've been trying to use php and that doesn't work, it prompts for download when I want to load a php file...

What infos should I provide to make someone help me ?

apache is version 2.0.55-r1
php is version is dev-lang/php-5.0.5-r5
I've checjed many posts about the -D PHPx and tried many things. Nothing worked.

anyone has something ?

mod edit: cleaned some HELP SCREAMING from the subject --Earthwings

emerge mod_php.

[mactoo]

I've tried that already mad install php 4.x
didn't work

[magic919]

What?

[mactoo]

I mean , I've made emerge mod_php
and it didn't change anything (had to unmerge dev-lang/php to install it)

[magic919]

Ok. You certainly need mod_php.

The config files have moved around a bit from version to version. Would be worth running apache2 -V to see the basic config file. Then check the PHP module is in the modules directory. Check /etc/conf.d/apache2 as that's where PHP gets started on mine 2.0.54.

Here's apache2 -V

Server version: Apache/2.0.55
Server built: Feb 1 2006 21:51:15
Server's Module Magic Number: 20020903:11
Architecture: 32-bit
Server compiled with....
-D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork"
-D APR_HAS_SENDFILE
-D APR_HAS_MMAP
-D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled)
-D APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE
-D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE
-D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT
-D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD
-D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS
-D HTTPD_ROOT="/usr"
-D SUEXEC_BIN="/usr/sbin/suexec2"
-D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="/var/run/httpd.pid"
-D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status"
-D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="/var/run/accept.lock"
-D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log"
-D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/mime.types"
-D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="/etc/apache2/httpd.conf"

don't understand why, the -D PHP doesn't show, in act that might be the problem.

Here's /etc/conf.d/apache2
# Copyright 1999-2005 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

# Config file for /etc/init.d/apache2

# When you install a module it is easy to activate or deactivate the modules
# and other features of apache using the APACHE2_OPTS line. Every module should
# install a configuration in /etc/apache2/modules.d. In that file will be an
# <IfDefine NNN> where NNN is the option to enable that module.
# Here are the options available in the default configuration:
# USERDIR Enables /~username mapping to /home/username/public_html
# INFO Enables mod_info, a useful module for debugging
# PROXY Enables mod_proxy
# DAV Enables mod_dav
# DAV_FS Enables mod_dav_fs (you should enable this when you enable DAV
# unless you know what you are doing)
# SSL Enables SSL
# SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST Enables default vhost for SSL (you should enable this
# when you enable SSL unless you know what you are doing)
# LDAP Enables mod_ldap
# AUTH_LDAP Enables authentication through mod_ldap
# DEFAULT_VHOST Enables the default virtual host in /var/www/localhost/htdocs
APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP5"

# Extended options for advanced uses of Apache ONLY
# You don't need to edit these unless you are doing crazy Apache stuff
# As not having them set correctly, or feeding in an incorrect configuration
# via them will result in Apache failing to start
# YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

# ServerRoot setting
#SERVERROOT=/usr/lib/apache2

# Configuration file location
# - If this does NOT start with a '/', then it is treated relative to
# $SERVERROOT by Apache
#CONFIGFILE=/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# Location to log startup errors to
# They are normally dumped to your terminal.
#STARTUPERRORLOG="/var/log/apache2/startuperror.log"

# Environment variables to keep
# All environment variables are cleared from apache
# Use this to preserve some of them
# NOTE!!! It's very important that this contains PATH
# Also, it will fail if the _value_ of any of these variables contains a space
KEEPENV="PATH"


Where exactly should I check the module ?

He says mod_php 4.x. He _had_ PHP5 but then installed mod_php 4.x.

[frix]

Mmm... ok. But if "mactoo" reads this, please check out my previous post.
I just recently upgraded to PHP5 and had to install/reinstall "dev-lang/php"
a couple of times before I got it working. Unless you want to install both
versions, don't go for "mod_php".

[mactoo]

OK, I've tried both PHP5 & mod_php (now it's mod_php) but I just can't get it to work !!!
I've checked the modules


40_mod_ssl.conf
45_mod_dav.conf
70_mod_php5.conf
41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf
70_mod_php.conf


/etc/conf.d/apache2
is with -D PHP4

and it's still the same...

is there something to do with the httpd.conf ?

Why is it so damn difficult to get PHP working ??!! Now I really fear the MySQL installation...

[kardolus]

I cant get it to work either, been recompiling stuff for days and running thrue forums. It sucks. I had no problems btw with mysql and PostGreSQL

I recently built a server with apache 2.0 +php4.4+Mysql 4.1 and from memory all I had to do was modify my /etc/conf.d/apache2 file . I followed http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Apache2_with_PHP_MySQL

For the record the changed line in /etc/conf.d/apache2 is

[DNAspark99]

you should also be using dev-lang/php-4/5 with apache use flags, not mod_php...and with the changes mentioned above to /etc/conf.d/apache2 file, it should work

[frix]

I also followed the advise on:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php4-php5-configuration.xml

and went for a PHP5-only installation. Works fine for me...

[andreask]

[mactoo]

OK
I got it working with mod_php, even if I don't understand why it works and why it didn't work.
I'm gonna try unmerge mod_php and go for dev-lang/php-5 before putting [solved] on the subject.

Thx anyway, at least it works somehow...
