Apache not recognising my .php files.

Posted by SuperSub, 06-29-2008, 06:43 AM
Hey guys, Yesterday I was told by my hosting provider that my machine was at kernel panic, so they restarted it and I restarted my webserver (Apache). I created a sub folder as I wanted to install a PHP script, so I created the folder using FTP and uploaded all of the script files. The problem is, when I now visit that URL, my browser is asking me to download the .php file instead of the webserver executing it: http://64.22.118.150/bhangra/ My web host said this: it sounds like you aren't loading your php module library in your apache.conf and/or not associating the .php extension. but I have no clue howto fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Check the configuration and try to rebuild your apache, you could do this through WHM (easyapache).

You need to add this: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php somewhere in your httpd.conf file.

Steve, I tried this but it is still not working. The steps I took: Opened PuTTY and logged in. cd /usr/local/apache/conf/ cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.bak pico httpd.conf I added the line, saved and exited. Logged into WHM and restarted the webserver. Double checked I had saved httpd.conf file, I had. Funny thing is, that it recognises my .php files in root, example this works: http://64.22.118.150/contact.php But nothing in my subfolder works Any other ideas?

Hello, What operating system is this? Was apache installed from a package (yum install, apt-get install, etc) or from source?

In addition confirm whether there is any htaccess effect in bhangra directory. try mv .htaccess htaccess.bak if there is one existing
