Installing PHP, MySql and Apache on windows - php
Its my first time working with Apache,PHP,MySql. I downloaded and installed the latest package of these 3. Now I checked with apache and the index.html works. Now I replaced the index.html with some php script to check if my php works or not. When opened the html page again I see the php code directly. It seems it does not work. following is how my php code looks like.
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
</body>
</html>
when I open my index.php , I see the above code itself. Can anybody let me know whats wrong and how can i fix it?
Check your apache httpd.conf file for some commented out code that looks like this
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
and further down the file, this...
<IfModule php5_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
it seems there is some problem in the installation. use WAMP as stefan and dessus or XAMPP. i recomand u to use XAMPP its bundled with APACHE, MYSQL, File Zilla Server, Mercury for mail. Easy to Install and Use . http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Another vote for WampServer. Once you have a working server, it's then easier to poke around with configurations files and then learn Apache/PHP configuration that way.
use wamp! it's easy and fast :)
http://www.wampserver.com/en/
personally, i use an old version from 2007, 1.7.4, it can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files%2FWAMP5/
the good thing about using an old version is that your code will work on old machines, and many servers out there have old versions of php and mysql.
the bad thing about using an old version is that your code might not work on new machines, and some machines out there have new versions of php and mysql.

how to configure server to look in to .xphp extention files for php code
In my project I want to store all new/specific code into files with xphp extension but I want server to parse those file as .php. Can we configure this. If yes how? I am using Apache server with php 5.6.3, with access to server configurations. Thanks in Advance.
in apache2 you can add multiple handlers as follows: within your .conf file which is often located in /etc/apache/sites-available/ in linux/ubuntu , add this line AddType: application/xhttpd-php .xphp this will only take effect on the virtual host which you are adding this line to, if you want your changes take effect on all your hosts, add this line to your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf if you don't have an access to you server configurations files : you can add this line to your .htaccess file : Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .xphp don't forget to restart your apache2 after changing the conf files sudo service apache2 restart
PHP test page is showing blank
I am trying to set up PHP to work with Apache using Apache Module DLL. The following code is added to c:\Apache24\conf\httpd.conf file: LoadModule php5_module C:/PHP/php5apache2_4.dll <IfModule php5_module> DirectoryIndex index.html index.php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir "C:/PHP" </IfModule> Then I browse http://localhost in a browser and it shows a page saying "It Works!" Then again I test browse a PHP page info.php which just calls phpinfo() and it shows quite a bit of info about PHP installation. Now, the case is that I found two default files such as php.ini-production and php.ini-development and I copy any one of them and save it as php.ini in "C:/PHP",restarts the Apache server and again test browse info.php,then this time the page is blank even without any error message. What might be the issue and how should I try to solve it? My software specification is outlined below: OS: Windows 7 PHP: 5.6.29 Apache: 2.4.23-win32-VC14 Thanks in advance!
create a php file in vagrant and have the host OS browser display the result
In my mac terminal I typed: vagrant up vagrant ssh after which my command prompt is inside vagrant and displays: vagrant#zero-to-slim:~$ after which I type: vagrant#zero-to-slim:~$ cd /vagrant where I have created a php file (called hello.php) <?php echo "Hello World from inside vagrant!!"; ?> When I go to firefox and type /var/www I can see the contents of the directory: (i) a folder named zero-to-slim.dev (ii) index.html (iii) hello.php I want to enter (in my browser) localhost/hello.php and be able to see "Hello World from inside vagrant!!", which is clearly not happening. How do I make that happen? FYI, just typing localhost in firefox displays: "It Works!" I'm not using PuPHET or anything, just LAMP. Also I think the problem is I have to direct my host OS Apache to look at some shared folder to render .php files. No idea how to do that either (new to LAMP dev)
OSX comes with PHP pre-installed but not configured. You have to do that yourself. According to Using the bundled PHP on PHP.net: PHP has come standard with Macs since OS X version 10.0.0. Enabling PHP with the default web server requires uncommenting a few lines in the Apache configuration file httpd.conf whereas the CGI and/or CLI are enabled by default (easily accessible via the Terminal program). and it goes on to say that you start by uncommenting the lines mentioning php in /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, e.g., # LoadModule php5_module libexec/httpd/libphp5.so # AddModule mod_php5.c and restart Apache.
Getting blank PHP page over Apache
In a newly setup digitalOcean cloud server (CentOS), I have installed php and Apache. The webserver is running fine: [root#a2m5cent01 httpd]# service httpd status httpd (pid 11232) is running... [root#a2m5cent01 httpd]# php --version | head -1 PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Dec 11 2013 03:29:57) But browser is showing blank pages (white page) if I try to visit any php page. Here is what I have done so far to troubleshoot: Created a page with following content: <?php phpinfo(); ?>. It displays a blank page when viewed from browser. Just to ensure, apache is pointing to the correct directory, placed a static .html page there, and saw it comes out fine in browser, so apache is working and directory is correct. In /etc/php.ini, changed display_errors directive to On. Still blank page In Apache config file (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) found this line Include conf.d/*.conf. Inside conf.d directory, there is a php.conf file containing the line: LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so. Ensured that this .so file actually exists in this place. In the same file I have these two lines as well: AddHandler php5-script .php and AddType text/html .php Executed the php page from CLI, it works fine - so php is working locally. Then why is it always shows a blank/white page over the browser? What else am I missing? EDIT Based on suggestions from #Nathan, I checked Apache error log file, could not see any error being reported there. My /etc/php.ini says, php error_log is located as syslog. So I checked /var/log/messages but could not find any PHP error message Next I put some normal HTML in the php file containing phpinfo() call. Interestingly I found that even the normal HTML texts are also not coming. It still produces blank page. Then I checked Apache access log. Surprise! There is no GET request for any of the PHP files I tried to load in the browser. But GET request for all the non-php files are there with 200 return code. Apache is not even logging any access request for PHP files. Any idea why would that happen?
check out your phpinfo() script. <?php phpinfo(); ?> missing the "php" behind the first "?" will give a blank page
I think your php installation with apache is faulty. Thats why you can not see any php page in your webserver. Clean remove all the existing apps, like httpd,php,php-fpm,php-cli etc. and try to clean isntall in this order yum install httpd -y yum install php php-common php-cli php-gd php-curl php-fpm -y then make sure you restart yout httpd server. service httpd restart Install mod_fastcgi: yum install mod_fastcgi Start the service: service php-fpm start Restart Apache: service httpd restart 5. Configuration of Apache with PHP-FPM Open the fastcgi.conf file: nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/fastcgi.conf Add this to the end of the file: <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> DirectoryIndex index.html index.shtml index.cgi index.php AddHandler php5-fcgi .php Action php5-fcgi /php5-fcgi Alias /php5-fcgi /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi FastCgiExternalServer /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi -host 127.0.0.1:9000 -pass-header Authorization </IfModule> After that search after "FastCgiWrapper" and make sure it's set to "off" then save the file. The /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ directory must exist, so we create it: mkdir /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ If mod_php is installed and enabled, we need to disable it so open the configuration at /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf: nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf Comment out the AddHandler and AddType lines so it looks like here: # # PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it # easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. # <IfModule prefork.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so </IfModule> <IfModule worker.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so </IfModule> # # Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension. # #AddHandler php5-script .php #AddType text/html .php # # Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory # indexes. # DirectoryIndex index.php # # Uncomment the following line to allow PHP to pretty-print .phps # files as PHP source code: # #AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps Save the file and restart Apache: service httpd restart
Are you navigating to the php file directly? Or are you just going to the directory root? If the later, Apache might not be recognizing .php as the directory index. To test, try create a .htaccess file in your web root containing the following line: DirectoryIndex index.php
I have the same issue... The problem is in the iptables. (It seems like it) Try with: service iptables stop ## check if it stop... service iptables status Then try to reload the page again. If you had other solution please share. [edit] Restarting the iptables service is working for me. Try: service iptables restart
First of all you should check the permissions of your file. If you don't grant read-permission to public, Apache produces a blank page without showing any errors.
It's been sometime, but I wanted to come back to this question to update that the issue was with the directory permission setup. The FPM user I was using didn't have necessary permission to execute the index.php file in the web root. To avoid these issues in the future, I have created an automated bash script that will automatically create and configure webservers in DigitalOcean boxes. Please take a look here https://github.com/akash-mitra/fairy This script will automatically, Installs Nginx Create virtual server block for nginx Installs PHP, PHP APC, PHP Curl etc. Supports PHP Fast Process Manager (php-fpm) Installs Memcached Installs Database (MariaDB / MySQL) Optionally Installs PHP Composer and Laravel Configures and Strengthens SSH Activates Firewall Optionally enables SWAP space in DO server and fixes a locale issue
Since everything looks at its default state, have you checked this part just for confirmation cat /etc/php.ini | grep log_errors If log_errors is disabled then enable it and check this below log after restarting httpd. /var/log/httpd/error_log -- Also check this part from php configuration. cat /etc/php.ini | grep error_reporting This value should be enabled by default so that display_errors will work. error_reporting = E_ALL
Sorry to repost an old thread...this is important. I also was having these problems where no html response was outputting After double-checking php.ini or my apache conf files and was still receiving no output, I later found out that I was suppressing the error of an include / require of a class, with #, which was nested within a constructor function. There was a syntax error in the included file, which stopped all output altogether when errors were thrown. So, check your handlers first. If you are storing all your output into vars first and you are including various scripts first that fail you'll have to see those errors. If you suppress file handler errors, you'll get a blank screen if you have a syntax error in the file. Search your files for all instances of # in your php code. Then turn #include "/path_to/script.php"; to include "/path_to/script.php"; or anything #$foo into $foo as such var might reference a dependency that is causing your script to end with nothing showing in the httpd error log or in the http response.
