PHP5 and Apache

[lefloresg80]

So I've tried to use Falko's howto for installing php and mysql, with no luck. I try to open the info.php all I get is the actual code of the page. When I look at the apache2 httpd.conf file I don't see any php module loaded. I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks!

Hey,

You can follow these simple steps RHEL / CENTOS 5.5 onwards for LAMP setup.

1) # yum groupinstall "Web Server" "MySQL Database" --nogpgcheck

2) # yum install php* mysql* httpd* --nogpgcheck
   # chkconfig --level=235 httpd on
   # chkconfig --level=235 mysqld on

3) # cp -p /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf_orig
   # vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
   {
   ...
   ...
   ...
   # At the end 
   <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin root@mail.example.com
       DocumentRoot /var/www/html
       DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
       ServerName mail.example.com
       ErrorLog logs/mail.example.com-error_log
       CustomLog logs/mail.example.com-access_log common
   </VirtualHost>
  }
  
4) Check Apache syntax
  
  # httpd -t
  Syntax OK

5) Create PHP test file
  
  # vim /var/www/html/index.php
    {
    <?php
    
        phpinfo();
    
    ?>
    }
    
6) # service httpd restart

7) Check if PHP page is opening well.

   # elinks http://192.168.1.100
   # elinks http://192.168.1.100:80
   # elinks http://mail.example.com
   # elinks http://mail.example.com:80

Did you run this step?

yum install php

Also, what's the output of

getenforce

?

[lefloresg80]

The output is Disabled

Vikas, it didn't work. Would the results be affected if I'm using port 80?

By the way, is FTP safe?

[lefloresg80]

By the way, I should explain. I'm creating a file server with webdav capabilities and ftp functionality. Currently I'm using Fedora 13 but I'm considering going into Ubuntu desktop/server or Debian directly. For the time being I'm also using the computer as my work desktop. Any comments on that? Don't need anything long just your personal preference! Thanks!

Those were exact steps. Tell me where you got stuck along with error logs.

Thanks.. I just made a clean install of Ubuntu Server and did the howto and it worked great. Now I'm just trying to get FTP to work well. I'm having issues with the permission to download from the FTP client
