Hello everyone and a happy 2009 (this is my first post for this year) After upgrading some of my virtual users/perfect server setups to 8.10 I've somehow managed to mess my apache configuration. I've googled around and tried a couple of things but it didn't get the job done First things first: I cannot get php to work properly and all php files offer download instead of open/run in browsers. I need some help to troubleshoot this one. As I said system is upgraded to latest 8.10, apache is: Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ruby/1.2.6 Ruby/1.8.7(2008-08-11) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g my apache.conf: Code: ServerRoot "/etc/apache2" LockFile /var/lock/apache2/accept.lock PidFile ${APACHE_PID_FILE} Timeout 300 KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 100 KeepAliveTimeout 15 <IfModule mpm_prefork_module> StartServers 5 MinSpareServers 5 MaxSpareServers 10 MaxClients 150 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> <IfModule mpm_worker_module> StartServers 2 MaxClients 150 MinSpareThreads 25 MaxSpareThreads 75 ThreadsPerChild 25 MaxRequestsPerChild 0 </IfModule> # These need to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} Group ${APACHE_RUN_GROUP} AccessFileName .htaccess <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> DefaultType text/plain HostnameLookups Off ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log LogLevel warn # Include module configuration: Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf # Include all the user configurations: Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf # Include ports listing Include /etc/apache2/ports.conf LogFormat "%v:%p %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" vhost_combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common LogFormat "%{Referer}i -> %U" referer LogFormat "%{User-agent}i" agent # Define an access log for VirtualHosts that don't define their own logfile CustomLog /var/log/apache2/other_vhosts_access.log vhost_combined # Include generic snippets of statements Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/ # Include the virtual host configurations: Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ ...is default, (I simply removed most of the comments here just to make it short) I have defaults in httpd.conf (empty) and my ports.conf: Code: # If you just change the port or add more ports here, you will likely also # have to change the VirtualHost statement in # /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default NameVirtualHost *:80 Listen 80 <IfModule mod_ssl.c> # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no # NameVirtualHost statement here Listen 443 </IfModule> also my mime.types: Code: ... application/x-httpd-php phtml pht php application/x-httpd-php-source phps application/x-httpd-php3 php3 application/x-httpd-php3-preprocessed php3p application/x-httpd-php4 php4 ... I have not disabled php globally as the perfect server setup instructs, since I have no ISPconfig installed and the servers only serve one domain What might I be overlooking here? Thanx in advance.
Solved this one! Read on to see how... trying 'a2enmod php5' spits: Code: ERROR: Module php5 does not exist! Thought I've missed something, so I tried (re)installing libapache2-mod-php5 plus some more php5 stuff: Code: apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-imagick php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl Reading package lists...

symlinks to their corresponding file in /etc/apache2/mods-available) and I believe it got there because I followed some advice on editing /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf. I believe that all a2enmod does is simply create those symlinks in mods-enabled for each mod you choose to enable and that a2dismod simply removes symlinks pointing to mods-available once you choose to remove a module. So, I've moved php5.conf in mods-available and tried 'a2enmod php5' once again. Same 'Module php5 does not exist!' error (perhaps that php5.load file missing?). Then, I created a symlink pointing to it in mods-enabled myself and tried reloading apache2. Code: mv /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-available cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled ln -s ../mods-available/php5.conf php5.conf Anyway, here is what my php5.conf looks like (I think it is all defaults): Code: <IfModule mod_php5.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </IfModule> I don't know if there's supposed to be a php5.load file as well in mods-available, but there is none. Other modules' .load files seem to load .so files that reside in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/ and in there resides a libphp5.so(GBP 4.69) file. So, I became really creative and created a 'php.load' file in mods-available: Code: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so Then as if it was magic: Code: a2enmod php5 Enabling module php5. Run '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' to activate new configuration! ... and finally all worked fine! Yhey!! Hope this will help people having the same issue in the future.
