apache not working

[giganet]

Can you open '/etc/apache2/apache2.conf' and see what you have on line '185'?

[cruz]

Yes I was thinking of that. Here is the line.

Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load

It wants to load the files that are RED marked. the files that I talked above are in this file. It can not load them because they are not there. Well they are, but it tells me that they are missing when I try to open them. DOse anyone on here know how to replace the two files that are missing? Thanks for all the help.

[giganet]

So lines 184, 185, and 186 are populated with
# Include module configuration:
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

You must have quite a few special directives at the top of your apache2.conf file?
The above lines in my server are at lines 115, 116, and 117


Move to 'etc/apache2/mods-available/' and run 'cat php5.conf'- the results should look like this:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
#  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
#  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

Now run 'cat php5.load' which should look like the following:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

OOPs, dual post- please ignore

[cruz]

Yes it came out just like yours did. What dose that mean? The ones in question are the php4, not php5. I do not know why it needs to load php4 when I have php5 installed. You wuld think that it would load the php5 files.

take a look at this

server1:~# httpd -t
httpd: Syntax error on line 185 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php4.load: No such file or directory
When I ran http -t I get this. HELP ANYONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS :{

[giganet]

I can only suspect something within'/etc/apache2/apache2.conf' is wrong to be calling PHP4?

Hey, did some digging right here at HTF and found a very intersting article which just might help get you back on track- take a crack at this and be sure to follow the instructions to the letter and it seems you would be able to re-store server function within an hour, give or take...
http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_with_php5_and_php4

Give it a shot, it's worth the try!

[falko]

What's the output of

ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled

and

ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-available

?

I can not see php4 in here, but there are two files on the server that have red marks on them I can not remove them . I tried to move them off the server so that the php5 files may load. Man will I ever lear this stuff? thanks for all the help. I created another debian etch server. I was reading on how to backing up everything onto it so I can get online again. I don't want to get stuck like this again. I made the 2nd server with the same domain, but used server2. my main server is server1. Is that how it is to be setup?

[falko]

You have PHP5 installed, not PHP4. Do you need PHP5 or PHP4?

[cruz]

I setup the server with The Perfect Setup - Debian Etch (Debian 4.0). the error I am getting is comming from two files that are php4. I think I am running 5. It dose not note that it is php5 on the install page for my install. I guess I need 5. It was working great affter the install.

these are the ones that are trying to load.
