When I access a test php file from a browser, it responds with unknown file type dialog box.
I’ve used Yast on my OpenSUSE 10.2 system to install php5. I’ve edited configuration files such as httpd.conf per discussion threads here. One thing that doesn’t work is the directive ‘LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so’ because the file libphp5.so isn’t in the modules directory.
I’m ready to throw in the towel. I don’t want to download and try to install php5 from scratch at this point, right?

Release 10.2 is out of support, you need to upgrade.
As for the php Module, without remembering when exactly it was
intruduced, just add “php5” to /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and restart the
apache service. (Hmm was a SuSEconfig run requited with 10.2?)
Kind regards,

php5 was already added to /etc/sysconfig/apache2:
APACHE_MODULES=“actions alias auth_basic authn_file authz_host authz_groupfile authz_default authz_user authn_dbm autoindex cgi dir env expires include log_config mime negotiation setenvif ssl suexec userdir php5”
Restarting the apache server had no effect.

Check with “apache2ctl -M”.

Syntax OK
What does your test PHP file look like? I hope you are using <?php … >? and not <? … ?>. Short tags are not supported by default, you should use the <?php form as it’s more portable.
