I just want to start by saying thank you in advance, this has been driving me crazy.
I installed PHP, and Apache on my raspberry pi and am doing some home projects. When I go to my website it pulls up HTML fine, but when opening my php files it just displays my code.
Steps Taken:
Verified PHP is indeed installed on my server.
I disabled mpm_event, and enabled mpm_prefork, and then also enabled php7.3 and restarted apache.
I looked inside the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and couldn't find any LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so line anywhere. I saw some other answers point to this being the issue but I tried adding the line (using php7) into the conf file but still no luck. Not sure if this is necessary just saw other posts mention it so I gave it a try!
Not sure if this is relevant, but when I enable mpm_prefork, and php7.3 the website doesn't display code anymore and it gives me an HTTP ERROR 412 "The page isn't working"
I had a lot of problems with PHP, Apache, Try setting it up using this site : https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/remote-access/web-server/apache.md
I hope you get it working, if any questions appear during installation, I can help.

Currently trying to setup my localhost and install php as well with the new osx yosemite
i've been following the following instructions: http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/get-apache-mysql-php-phpmyadmin-working-osx-10-10-yosemite/
I've uncommented everything they said for apache and php and restarted apache afterwords
FYI. SO won't let me type localhost so where I write lh means that
I'm successfully able to get to
lh/
but... if I try to go to any other pages it says the site can't be found.
There is a index.html in the Sites folder which I have tried to access lh/~myusername/index.html
and I have the same file in /Library/WebServer/Documents which I have tried to access lh/index.html
Can someone tell me the step that I am missing that needs to get all of this to work correctly?
Apache has a DocumentRoot which is the default page for localhost. That guide tries to enable a virtualhost for a directory in your local user but it is not possible to know why yours is not working as it is not clear which part you have gone wrong.
However it is better to use normal virtualhost configuration to define any folder you want for Apache as it is pretty much the same as Apache under Linux. Follow this guide for a basic understanding of creating virtualhosts for Apache. Let me know if you have any issues.
I had the same exact problem.
Followed all the steps, retraced them but still got the error.
First, check for a syntax error in your httpd.conf by typing in terminal:
sudo apachectl configtest
If you get a Syntax OK, then most likely its one of the settings in your httpd.conf file that isn't set right
You can check out this post and try what some other people did:
Apache localhost/~username/ not working
My error was that I didn't actually include "~" in the username (thought it was just there to define the var 'username' - took me almost 2 god damn hours to figure that out -__-)
After I got that far
localhost/~username
worked but I didn't have permissions to view it.
Had to do an extra step here to add permissions for my user:

Firstly, please forgive me if this is in the wrong section (and could you tell where this should be?)
I am starting to use Laravel, and it requires PHP with Mcrypt.
So I followed the tutorial for Homebrew and have got PHP5.4 set up with Mcrypt
Typing which php and php -v at the terminal all confirm that this PHP 5.4.24 is loaded and are ready to go.
However, the output of phpinfo() in the localhost directory (via Apache) shows I am using PHP 5.4.17 with no Mcrypt.
OK, so I know I should have set up the httpd.conf with:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php54/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
And when I do that, I get the right PHP version in Apache, but PHP seems to fail in subdirectories.
I have a file index.php at localhost/test containing <? echo phpinfo();?>, and...
...it works when the line in httpd.conf says this: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so...
...but does not work when I change to homebrew's suggestion.
Any ideas?
TL;DR...
When I set up httpd.conf to work with php54 (installed via Homebrew), then PHP is executed in the home directory of localhost, but not in the subdirectories.
Oh. You. Idiot.
This post proves that I am, without a doubt, the biggest fool that walked the earth.
Clearly, short tags are turned off in the newer version of PHP but not in the older one.
So everything was working fine - if only I had used <?php echo phpinfo(); ?> then I could have saved about 8 hours of tears.
php is not working in my computer. I have installed Apache server and save the file with .php extension in htdocs but still its not working.
I have written these code:
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
it shows nothing. I have opened .htaccess file and got,
# This folder does not require access over HTTP
# (the following directive denies access by default)
Order allow,deny
what can I do now.please help me.
Open the Apache server log and take a good look at it. That's what it's there for. It logs everything. Is in /logs in your Apache programs directory.
You either don't have php installed into Apache correctly (likely), don't have Apache set up correctly, or don't have PHP set up correctly.
You'll want to look at conf/httpd.conf for Apache configuration, and php.ini for php configuration.
Sort out Apache first. Try to serve a simple .htm or .html page. i.e. put a simple text file with .htm file extension, e.g. myfile.htm, in your DocumentRoot (see conf/httpd.conf) and see if you can browse to it.
You might want to set 'ServerName localhost', and then browse to localhost/myfile.htm
From the Apache log you will also be able to tell if php is loading correctly. If not comment out the list of extensions, e.g. extension=php_gd2.dll, and try it again. I've had it not load because some of the libraries were not present. If you get it to work with all commented out, then one way or another figure out which ones are causing the trouble and leave them out.
Important: You must shutdown Apache and restart it after any configuration changes. (Not re-boot, but rather the Apache server monitor widget.)
Also did you install 32 bit versions of both Apache and php? If you try to mix x64 with x32 it won't work. And as I recall there are specific recommendations about which versions to use with which at the php download site. Pay attention to the details there.
I recomend you to add the php module to apache
a.Running PHP 5 as an Apache Module
To configure Apache to load PHP as a module to parse your PHP scripts, use an ASCII text editor to open the Apache configuration file, "httpd.conf". If you use Apache 1.x, the file is found in "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\conf\". Apache 2.0.x users can find it in "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\" while Apache 2.2.x users can find it in "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\conf\". Basically, it's in the "conf" folder of wherever you installed Apache.
Search for the section of the file that has a series of "LoadModule" statements. Statements prefixed by the hash "#" sign are regarded as having been commented out.
If you are using Apache 1.x, add the following line after all the LoadModule statements:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache.dll"
If you are using Apache 2.0.x, add the following line after all the LoadModule statements:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2.dll"
If you are using Apache 2.2.x, add the following line instead:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"

Thank you everybody who tried to give my answer and helped me. It was a surprising experience for me that how quick you answered my question!! It was my ignorance to follow your suggestions. I've solved the problem by installing xampp. Now php is running fine in my computer.I am new in PHP programming and I will ask your help in future also. So be helpful to me always. I will be grateful to you. Thanks again.

I just set up a local web server on a new Mac running 10.6 (Apache2 / PHP / Mysql). Everything seems to be working fine except when I navigate to SOME (not most) pages Apache downloads php files instead of executing them.
I thought this might have something to do with the time it takes php to execute the script so I increased my "max_execution_time" but it didn't help.
I wish I could give more details but the error logs don't output anything so I really have no idea why this is happening. One thing that might be of significance is that only pages that don't query the database seem to work every time.
UPDATE:
Just discovered something strange that might give more insite into the problem. If I type the following URLs:
localhost/index.php // the home page is served up correctly
localhost/index.php?page=1 // the home page is served up correctly
localhost/index.php?page=home // ERROR: index.php is downloaded !!!!!!!!!!
localhost/index.php?page=contact // the contact page is served up correctly
localhost/index.php?page=blog // ERROR: index.php is downloaded
localhost/index.php?page=10 // the blog page is served up correctly
Uncommenting the following line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf fixed the problem for me:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
You could try adding this to your conf or htaccess:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
I know that this was asked a long time ago, but I just encountered this problem so I thought I'd post what the cause was for me.
Make sure that you don't have...
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
...in BOTH your .htaccess file and your httpd.conf file. Check your .htaccess file, comment it out, restart Apache, and try again. That is most likely your problem since Apache renders php for some sites but not others. It has to be at the directory level, which would point to a .htaccess file setting.
I stumbled upon this problem after upgrading php to 5.5 and reinstalling apache.
Finally,this fixed it, in case someone else needs it.
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
(here's the answer)
I'm trying to setup an Apache/PHP/Postgresql server locally on my machine. I'm using Windows vista business 32bit. I tried to install everything manually (one thing at a time, apache, postgresql and php (all the latest stable releases)) and after I get everything up and running.
Whenever I try to run a script on my machine, I get a "What do you want to do with the *.php file?" dialog. The dialog is the browser's open/save dialog
I'm just trying to get the output of phpinfo() to make sure everything is up and running...
I already tried to mess around a bit with the Apache conf file, but since I don't know much about what I'm doing, I reinstalled everything again and the problem is still there. I kinda get the feeling it must have something to do with the PHP thingy isn't correctly installed.
When i try to get the output of phpinfo as in:
<pre><?php
phpinfo();
?></pre>
I get the browser's "Open/Save" dialog for the *.php file.
You should have something like this in your httpd.conf file:
LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "c:/php"
Make sure that's in place, and don't forget to restart apache!
In Windows, the default location for your conf file is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf
You can also have a look at the official page of PHP in the install section.
There is a closer link if you are on Windows.
And you can also use some precompiled installer for this like XAMMP and install Postgres after all is set up and running with the web server and php.
are you on Windows?
I use Wamp server, which is an excellent way of getting Apache, MySQL and PHP installed and configured without any hassle on Windows.
If you want to use Postgres instead, provided that you've got it installed separately it will work fine. (one great thing you can do with Wamp is add and remove PHP extensions via a GUI pretty much on-the-fly, and pgsql is one of them).
Maybe somebody can help, but you'd be much better off if you'd provide some relevant details.
What sort of system are you using? Be specific.
What do you mean by "everything up and running"?
What are you doing when you "try to run a script"?
What installation procedures did you use? (If you were following them off a script or how-to, we at least need to know where to find the script or how-to.)
We don't automatically know these things. What seems obvious to you may not be clear to us, and what seems irrelevant to you may turn out to be crucial.
In httpd.conf, make sure the PHP module is being loaded and that that line isn't commented out. (Comments in httpd.conf starts with #.)
Also what OS are you running?
I had the same problem, You need to configure apache and add the php module...
e.g I compiled the php from source as well as the apache. After doing so I then copied the libphp5.so from php/lib dir in to the apache/modules dir. Than you have to add php in the http.conf
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddHandler php5-script php
you can then restart apache....it's not the most elegant of solutions but it works.
