Need Help... Installed LAMP. new to Ubuntu and LAMP. Installation went thru fine. test.php works, when I write simple php and try to use it. FireFox wants to download file and open code in editor instead of executing in browser.

Here is the Simple php code that I wrote.
<html>
<body>
<? php
echo "Welcome to PHP language";
?>
</body>
</html>

I am running this code from Ubuntu server. Using Firefox to run this code. Don't know what I am doing wrong.

What file name extention did you use? Is it one that will be interpreted as being php?
Where was the file located? If the file was in your own public_html directory, then php in user directories needs to be enabled by editing /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf (comments within the file tell you what to do).

Hi,

Thanks for replying. I tried both PHP and HTML extension files.

I did made changes to PHP5.CONF file to point to my personal directory for scripts still didn't help.

Check to make sure the libapache2-mod-php5 package is installed.

I don't know if it's your only issue (if I replicate it, the php command fails to execute - however the browser doesn't attempt to download the script) but afaik your php opening tag should not have a space in it i.e. it should be <?php not <? php



<? php
echo "Welcome to PHP language";
?>


Have you looked in the apache2 error log?

good think I just figured out is PHP works fine from command line.

mbhavaraju@rajubuntu:~/Raj/phpcode$ php -f MyFirstPhp.php
Welcome to PHP language
mbhavaraju@rajubuntu:~/Raj/phpcode$


So this Works( This is in .php file and executing from command line.:
<?php
echo "Welcome to PHP language\n";
?>

This Doesn't Work(This is in .html file and executing from browser):
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo "Welcome Raj to PHP language";
?>
</body>
</html>

From your OP (Original Post) I never ever would have guessed that your issue is actually a permissions problem.

I suggest that you set up your home directory for the default way for apache to use it.
Make a sub-directory called "public_html" and put your files there. Then tell apache that it is O.K. to use the default users public directory:
sudo a2enmod userdir
sudo service apache2 restartThe you access via the URL ~yourusername/file.html example: http://www.mysite.com/~doug/myfile.html

BTW, I can run the html code, but cann't run php code inside html code. and PHP works fine from Command Prompt.

Do not do:
mbhavaraju@rajubuntu:~/public_html$ sudo a2enmod /public_html
Do exactly what I posted. Do:
sudo a2enmod userdir
sudo service apache2 restartThe module name is "userdir" and it refers to "public_html"

Doug,

Thanks for your Reply, I did same thing as you said.. Still no help.

mbhavaraju@rajubuntu:~$ sudo a2enmod userdir
[sudo] password for mbhavaraju:
Module userdir already enabled
mbhavaraju@rajubuntu:~$ sudo service apache2 restart

Hi Doug,

I followed this link and also the link that tells us how to comment things in php5.conf from enabled mods.

http://joycetipping.com/techblog/2010/08/install-apache-on-ubuntu/#permissions

Now, if I goto http://localhost, it is trying to download php or some kind of file that I don't recognize. But message is saying it is PHTML kind of file. I think I got into more problems...

February 20th, 2013, 05:48 AM
Now, if I goto http://localhost, it is ...??? From your previous posts, I would have expected you to be going to http://localhost/~mbhavaraju/test.php .
So lets take a moment and re-synchronize. Post: Your test.php file; The related /var/log/apache2/error.log; The related /var/log/apache2/access.log.

I did latest Ubuntu updates just now
/var/log/apache2/access.log:
127.0.0.1 - - [20/Feb/2013:20:53:38 -0600] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 482 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:19.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/19.0"

Still no luck... when I run test.php it tries to download php file.

Hi Doug,

here is my php5.conf. Confirming if this configuration is correct.

<Directory /usr/share>
</Directory>
#
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
<FilesMatch "\.ph(p3?|tml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
# To re-enable php in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
# <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# <Directory /home/*/public_html>
# php_admin_value engine Off
# </Directory>
# </IfModule>
</IfModule>

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 9524288
</Files>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I am sorry... I am sending so many replies on this post to myself seeking for help. Doug, thanks for all your help. This is what I found out latest.

In /etc/apache2/sites-enabled, if I replace DocumentRoot with /home/mbhavaraju/public_html, and samething with <Directory tag> I am geting 403 error. If I leave it as is pointng to /var/www/, when I got to //localhost it is trying to download php. Probably you know what this means, I am trying out each and every thing that I come across.

I have not looked at your postings of various config files. Why not? Because other than the specific changes mentioned in this thread, you shouldn't need any more changes. Important insight is gained from
[Tue Feb 19 21:54:04 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /~mbhavaraju denied
[Tue Feb 19 21:54:14 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: access to /~mbhavaraju/ denied
and
[Tue Feb 19 21:46:28 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/MyFirstPhp.html
[Tue Feb 19 21:46:38 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/MyFirstPhp.htmland
Here is the test.php.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and
public_html is having all the rights
drwxrwxrwx 2 mbhavaraju mbhavaraju 4096 Feb 10 13:41 public_htmlSo, you still have file permissions issues. Note that permissions in above directories also need to be right. Example (and note, I do not use generally accepted permissions settings, it is just an example):
doug@doug-64:~$ ls -l -d /home
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct 12 09:33 /home
doug@doug-64:~$ ls -l -d /home/doug
drwxr-xr-x 24 doug doug 4096 Feb 21 06:29 /home/doug
doug@doug-64:~$ ls -l -d /home/doug/public_html
drwxr-xr-x 25 doug doug 4096 Jan 23 06:56 /home/doug/public_html
O.K. I now realize test.php is not for access by a browser. So I guess your index.html file has your test php code. Rename the file to index.php
