[error] an unkown filter was not added: PHP

[Arien]

Hi all!

I have installed ISPConfig following the Perfect Setup - Debian Sarge guide, but for now I'm having certain problems with my server.

One of them is this:

On /var/log/apache2/error.log I see that it's plenty of errors like

[Thu Aug 11 18:27:54 2005] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP


So I wonder if I make any mistake in the guide or just a common problem with apache2 and php4...

I have googled a bit and found something about:

"Regardless, you should replace those <Files *.php> with

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and similarly for .php3 etc."

But I couldn't see anything of this on php.conf ...

Can anybody help me?

Thanks and sorry for my english.

Is the PHP module enabled in your Apache?

Try this:

cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.conf php4.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.load php4.load
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I found this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 5 17:35 php4.conf -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 5 17:35 php4.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.load


So I suppose the answer is: yes.

I checked those links and they are ok.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 8 20:31 php4.conf -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 8 20:31 php4.load -> /etc/apache2/mods-available/php4.load

Yes sure, at least I tried to....One thing is that I can't remember what was my actions in error situation. Made a small mistake (typo) and after that a new install and everything went well. Maybe a fresh install would help ? If I have to I will do it, with some instructions how to do it ?

I dont think this "[Mon Aug 15 08:58:34 2005] [error] an unknown filter was not added: PHP" is an serious error, it is just a warning. If PHP is working in your sites created in ISPConfig, i recommend not to reinstall your server.

PHP Bug #22881 says: (it is not a bug!)

Since 4.3.2RC the default Apache 2 sapi is the apache2handler and is no
longer filter based. Therefor you should use
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

and not

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</Files>

So, the error message is nothing really bad and maybe ISPConfig should just look closer at the version of Apache and simply not include those lines in the config file... Using both AddType and Filters makes no sense anyway.

my mistake

I have the same problem, tries:
ln -s /etc/httpd/mods-available/php5.conf php5.conf
ln -s /etc/httpd/mods-available/php5.load php5.load
/etc/init.d/httpd restart
But the problem I am not solved.

If he is not bug like solving it to install an application
