hello everybody.

PHP isnt working, but i dont know why. I have installed it.
I checked modules in httpd.conf and php5 was there.

# cat `rpm -ql apache2-mod_php5|grep conf`                                      
<IfModule mod_php5.c>                                                                                      
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php4                                                           
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5                                                           
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php                                                            
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php4s                                                   
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .php5s                                                   
        AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps                                                    
        DirectoryIndex index.php4                                                                          
        DirectoryIndex index.php5                                                                          
        DirectoryIndex index.php                                                                           
</IfModule>

but it still is not working :frowning:

this is my /srv/www/htdocs/index.php

# cat index.php
Apache
<?
print "Works";
?>

but http://localhost only shows “Apache”, but not “Works”…

then I saw source of page and there was this :

Apache
<?
print "Works";
?>

so, in spite of it is index.php, server perceives it as a html file :frowning:

sorry for my english, i hope you understand anything
and thanks in advance :slight_smile:

#2

replace <? with <?php

<? is by default disabled

#3

1st thing to do:

<?php
echo "Works";
?>

Try this, if not working…then we will proceed to next step.

NOTE: Apache service is running?

EDIT: microchip8 won.

I replaced it and it worked :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for helping…

and one more question

how can I enable, to start php script with <? this? :slight_smile:

mmarif4u

yes apache is running, and I restarted It many times. I was a little nervous : ))

#5

in /etc/php5/apache2 and /etc/php5/cli config files - usually php.ini

Keep in mind that using short php tags (<?) is not recommended due to portability reasons

Set short_open_tag = Off to short_open_tag = On

‘<?’ should be ‘<?php’.

Good luck.

I used to start php with short tags, but I think its time to grow out of that habit.

Thank you again!

#8

Definitely. Always use long tags no matter if you’re writing you own local site in php or a big public (commercial) site :wink:
