hi, professionals, finally I finished deploying work for my web server with Ubuntu 10 lts, everything testing is pass, only the php file issue, I put a testing php file in the /var/www/testing.php

but I open a firefox, and then I saw a blank page, I am sure that Apache read the file, but why return a blank page in browser, any professional know why, could you please teach me how to solve this small issue

Please post the contents of your testing php-file between
and tags.
Or use this one:


<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Make sure you're accessing the page through http://localhost and not file:///. Then make sure you have libapache2-mod-php5 installed.

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
sudo a2enmod php5
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
cat /var/www/testing.php
echo -e "GET /testing.php HTTP/1.0\n"|nc -q 1 127.0.0.1 80

You still haven't posted the output from the commands I gave you, so it is a little difficult to help.

I followed the instruction check the following things:


By default, the Apache 2 Web server is configured to run PHP5 scripts. In other words, the PHP5 module is enabled in Apache2 Web server automatically when you install the module. Please verify if the files /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load exist.

they are exist, I saw

Installing apache does not install apache's php5 module. I believe installing the php5 module enables it automatically, but apache is not restarted automatically, and you cannot use newly installed modules until apache2 is restarted. I cannot proceed to help you further until you run the commands I provided and post the output.

Just to do some basic troubleshooting here... can you run php from the command line?


php /var/www/testing.php

php /var/www/testing.php

He would probably have to install the command-line interpreter first.


sudo apt-get install php5-cli


I still suggest posting the output from these troubleshooting commands I posted earlier.


sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
sudo a2enmod php5
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
cat /var/www/testing.php
echo -e "GET /testing.php HTTP/1.0\n"|nc -q 1 127.0.0.1 80

Also, do you have logging enabled? If so, what's in your access.log and error.log?

OK I know this post is old but I am looking for a solution. There was an update for php 2 days ago so I installed them in Webmin and now none of my php code works. Its just blank. It worked before the update. You can see my php info file by going to
support.servitechlabs.com /test.php Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
