phtml file problem

[teet]

I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake.

I followed the installation instructions here: https://hive.bountysource.com/wiki/Installation

Everything seemed to install okay, but whenever I go to localhost/center, firefox tries to open a *.phtml file instead of giving me the login screen. I know I am not the only person to have this problem.

I think part of the problem is php4 is installed too, but php-auth depends on php4-pear and php4-common.

Here's a snippet:

alex@htpc:/var/www$ sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 php5-gd php5-mysql id3v2 imagemagick libgd2-dev libgd2 php-auth

Any suggestions?

I was just about to make the same post about the same problem. I've been trying to get some support over here (http://www.torrentflux.com/forum/index.php/topic,1706.msg12688.html#msg12688), but so far to no avail, though the denizens there are rather helpful.

Anyone with a solution?

[QuacoreZX]

mere moments after the problem, I have found the solution!

1) OK, first, uninstall php4, php5, apache, and apache2 and all directly related packages.

2) reinstall php5 and apache2 related packages as well as php5-mysql

3) in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, uncheck the lines related to AddType

4) CLEAR FIREFOX'S CACHE! HERE IS WHERE MY ERROR WAS!

5) should work now :D

[Stereotypical Rage]

--Clear Browser Cache.
--sudo apache2ctl restart

Works like a charm.:D

An update on my problem:

I did manage to get the PHTML probelm solved. Here are the steps I took that seemed to work.

1. sudo apt-get remove php4-common php-pear php-auth

2. Then I forced the ubuntu center deb to install
sudo dpkg -i --force-all ubuntu*.deb

I have an account setup with no-ip.com. When I tried accessing ubuntu center (hive) via my no-ip domain name (http://domainname.zapto.org/center) it worked.

Since then, I have reinstalled php-auth php4-common and php4-pear and things are still working fine. Whatever.

the resolve for me was a little different,
I used the following info from this url:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux_Guide/Installing_SugarCRM_On_Linux
for that I did:
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load

then vi'ed /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and added:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
not sure if it matters but I also added:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var

then I did the php test mentioned in the url, check it out, it's pretty cool.

And if you don't have the php5.xxxx files in the mods-available folder the following should put them there:

apt-get --purge remove php5-common
apt-get install php5 phpmyadmin

And if you don't have the php5.xxxx files in the mods-available folder the following should put them there:

apt-get --purge remove php5-common
apt-get install php5 phpmyadmin

Thanks, that worked for me. 8)

I just cleared firefox's cache and it worked. I'm thinking that's all you'd need to do anyway.

[jackhsu978]

yeah. clearing the cache on firefox solved this problem for me :)

[maddog39]

The easiest way to solve this problem is to add a type for it in a .htaccess file in the root of your webpage directory. However, *.phtml is the same exact thing as a *.php, so whats the problem with just renaming the files to .php files. I am a PHP developer of two years and had this problem on occasion. It normally revolved around the .htaccess. But the easiest fix is to just rename all the files to plain .php files.

I had the same problem. On my pc, accesing "mydomain/~myaccount" from firefox prompted me to download the phtml file. When opening the same url form another pc with firefox everything went fine. Went back on my PC and tryed with Epiphany, worked. Cleared cache in Firefox -> all went ok.

clearing firefox's cache worked for me too

It took me two hours to solve this .phtml problem. I found my answer at Ubuntu Geek's forum (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/apache2-web-server-installation-with-php4-and-php5-support-in-ubuntu.html). I had to clear Firefox's cache (Tools->Clear Private Data) to get things working.

Clearing Firefox cache worked for me. Thank you for the post.

[enopepsoo]

--Clear Browser Cache.
--sudo apache2ctl restart

Works like a charm.:D

Thanks matey!:popcorn:

And if you don't have the php5.xxxx files in the mods-available folder the following should put them there:

apt-get --purge remove php5-common
apt-get install php5 phpmyadmin

Worked for me too.

Side Note: php5.* was in both mods-available and mods-enabled before I did this. I could open localhost/index.php but not localhost/ and yes I tried every combination of
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
in httpd.conf

It worked before upgrading to hardy but not after so it may be an update script error. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or spare server on which to try and recreate the error.

I had saved all the delta file reports from the update and went through each but found noting of interest. or at least nothing that when restored resolved the error.
