MAC OS X PHP5 and apache

[solidariti]

After reinstalling my MAC OS X operating system I can't seem to get php working with apache, it just displays the php code, not parsing it.

I have installed PHP5 and followed entropys instructions, which I did before the reinstall. But it doesn't work. I haven't changed the apache installation on the machine. I have uncommented:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

Restarted the server, but it still doesn't work, any ideas? Is this right or should it be php5? Considering I installed php5.

Thank you

try commenting those lines (restart apache) and find what your server's document root is. Put a test page like the following in your document root:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


do you get the php info?

Wahoo it works now thank you thank you, I have one issue though I'm trying to get the virtual hosts working I've been on it all day, arrghh, lol.

This is what I have so far:

httpd.conf:

#
NameVirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites/2Sites/
#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>


users/*.conf

<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>



<VirtualHost test.site.com:80>
ServerName test.site.com
DocumentRoot /Users/username/Sites/2Sites/site.com
<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/2Sites/site.com">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes +ExecCGI

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


hosts

##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
127.0.0.1 test.example.com
::1 localhost




When I go to test.site.com it just sends me to my internet provider error page which is talk talk; http://localhost works fine though

Any ideas, I have searched the internet and changed it so many times, but it still doesn't work and each time I have restarted apache using apachectl restart.

Thank you for taking the time to help me out

If site.com isn't pointed at your server, your browser is going to automatically goto site.com on the internet. I would recommend just using localhost for now.

Sorry I changed the names of them for privacy sake; they are the same in the host file and the users file.


Can you see anything wrong with them, after I did apachectl configtest

Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf

Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/username.conf

in the httpd.conf file I have:

NameVirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot /Users/jamesapps/Sites
ServerName localhost


username.conf:


<Directory "/Users/username/Sites/">

AllowOverride None

</VirtualHost>





host file:

##

Please if you could help resolve this issue I would be very appreciative, I would like to have test.example.com as a virtual host is the above right?

what does your domain's ip resolve to? Use the link below, but change the yourdomain.com to your domain.

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=yourdomain.com

What is the ip address of your server? If your domain resolves to a different ip than your server, than it won't find it.

Cant I just do name based virtual hosting, it is just for local development.
