Apache shows PHP code instead of executing it

Question

I have recently been trying to install PHP and Apache on my computer. After many hours, they\'re installed. I have modified the httpd.conf and php.ini files like everyone sa

Answer 1

In my case with PHP7.3 Apache2.4 Ubuntu 18.04 I had to execute:

$ a2enmod actions fastcgi alias proxy_fcgi

Answer 2

if the module userdir is enabled and your site is in a userdir (~/public_html) you must check /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf. The following part makes it work (on Ubuntu 14.10 utopic):

# Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default
# 
# 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_flag engine Off
#    </Directory>
# </IfModule>

Answer 3

Wow, lots of solutions here! Here's what I did on Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php
sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork && sudo a2enmod php7.0
sudo service apache2 restart

Answer 4

A different answer that worked for me. Is that, to install [sudo] apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5.X

Answer 5

none of the above applied or worked for me... PHP7, Apache Httpd 2.2 on CentOS 6

fact is, I installed (all with yum) php BEFORE Apache... you must do the reverse: always install Apache first, then PHP, and then it works... Indeed, you are likely missing libphp7.so and libphp7-zts.so in /etc/httpd/modules/

I was able to recover anyhow without UNinstalling PHP. I did add the magic line in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php And then run: yum install php php-mysql

Answer 6

open the file

/etc/apache2/httpd.conf

and change

#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

into

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

So just uncoment the PHP module load in httpd.conf
