After batteling the installation of php for a long time, i finally got php to install properly...or so I think. Before when I was installing php (emerge php i was getting errors regarding java vm libs...please see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=567 ) Well i finally got php installed without erroring out on me. Then I created a file called phptest.php with the following line of code. But for some reason teh php parser is not parsing the code .... I also did a http://localhost/server-info and found that mod_php is loading. Can anyone help??

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

this is what shows up when i do a server-info
Server Settings, mod_php4.c, mod_setenvif.c, mod_so.c, mod_unique_id.c, mod_example.c, mod_usertrack.c,

Do you have the proper entries for php in your mime.types file?

What Gentoo is to getting Linux and a desktop up and working, Apache Toolbox does for Apache servers. Will install PHP, mod_perl plus dozens of others, all up and integrated (compiled from source, naturally). Give it a go, I recommend it.

Yeah I made sure that the mime type was specified. Both for php3 and 4.
Too bad gentoo does not have a build for apachetoolbox

Can you post the relevant portions of your httpd.conf file and mime.types file? Also, are you getting any error messages in your apache error log?

Kurt,
I got so frustrated that I decided to try out ApacheToolBox but to my disappointment I can't get even the webserver working. I have never had problems building apache and php....but for some strange reason I am just struggling with gentoo on this issue. I am goign to remove ApacheToolBox and remerge apache and php and try it again. I will also post my config file on here for your knowledgeable eyes.

Hello folks,
After my long struggle with Apache and PHP in Gentoo, I have finally figured out what I did wrong. I noticed that Gentoo lay's out the Apache config files much differently (yet intutively) as opposed to if you were to compile Apache from source yourself (instead of using emerge that is). Normally I always had one httpd.conf/apache.conf file with everything in it, General Server settings, Mime settings, Virtual Hosts, etc. But Gentoo actually split these up into:
apache.conf
commonapache.conf
magic
mime.types

Once you have installed Apache and php (emerge apache php) to get your apaceh to load php add the following lines in commonapache.conf file under
<IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
LanguagePriority en fr de es it da nl et el ja kr no pl pt pt-br ru ltz ca sv tw
</IfModule>

My additions to apache.conf to make it work:

Note the extramodules instead modules

I had the same problem.

Turns out that installing PHP and putting -D PHP4 into /etc/conf.d/apache did get the php module to start loading, but it didn't include conf/addon-modules/mod_php.conf for the mimetypes.

Adding the include to apache.conf caused php to start getting parsed.
