I am running SUSE from an Amazon image which came pre loaded with apache2 and PHP. I have got my website up and running with a test index.html file, which works. When I do a index.php test my browser tries to download the file. Now I think this is because PHP / Apache2 is not configured correctly.
The bit I think I need in httpd.conf is
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
I have added this block already
<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 9524288
</Files>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
I have installed apache2-mod_php5 via zypper with the expectation that would add libphp5.so somewhere - however I can't find it. I have seen people mentioning it is built somehow in the installation of php / apache. I updated Apache2 and PHP via zypper and nada.
how do I get the file?
The module is called mod_php5.so and lives under
/usr/lib64/apache2/mod_php5.so
It's living there along with a lot of other mods, but the php5 module is not included anywhere!
So the line to add to the config (/etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf) is
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib64/apache2/mod_php5.so
I also used the below command to enable the mod
a2enmod php
Also don't forget to restart Apache2 and clear your browser cache.
httpd2 -k -restart
