.htaccess, AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html, and maybe a Fix...

[LegalClipper]

Hi, After about 24 Hours of Trial and Error I finally got my site Validated.

I traced it to the .htaccess file. When I was bringing up my site, the ads wouldn't show and the .php wouldn't execute. And sometimes my Browser would try to download the webpage instead of just view it. So I went back and forth on tech support with my ISP LunarPages.

Seems they run something called suPHP and the contents of .htacess must be:

AddType x-httpd-php .php .htm .htm

(notice it doesn't have the 'application/' in it.)

I guess suPHP doesn't like the 'application/' .

I am new at this, but it might work for you if you are having a rough time..

Try adding that code lines in apache.httpd.conf

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
Save it and restart apache with command : apachectl restart

Anyone with cpanel can add that command there, no need to mess around with the .htaccess since that darn file can make your site not load at all if you don't do it right

I was having this same problem. This fix did not work for me. bummer, still stuck on this.

[vanshake]

here's another option along those lines:

instead of:
addtype application/x-httpd-php .html

try:
<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|php)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

For anyone on Godaddy (or another host) having trouble getting php to parse within html with .htm extension I finally found the problem:

.htaccess is:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

Delete old .htaccess - don't overwrite.

Upload new .htaccess in ascii mode and chmod 777

Done!

I have cpanel through hostgator. I have uploaded the php file by creating a txt file and renaming it with the .php extention but I still cannot get the .htaccess to work. I tried doing the same thing using a .txt file but it wont work, it will not display the page unless I delete the .htaccess file.

You said there is a way to do it in cpanel but I cant figure it out. Can you explain how you did it?

Well you won't get any response from Fryman since that post was made in March last year and he's been banned for ages.

I have the following .htaccess file, uploaded to the correct place:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .wml
AddType text/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .wml
(after reading a few posts, apparently this should help)
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .wml
(after reading a few posts, apparently this also should help)

However, .php files download and .wml files (when viewed on Wapsilon.com) return a "expected text/vpn.wap.wml not application/x-httpd-php".

Any ideas?

[pulsart]

try this line in a blank .htaccess

AddType application/x-httpd-php php html

If you are using php5, it should be: AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html

And sometimes it's better using php5-script instead of x-httpd-php5.

But for php4 is it php4-script or php-script?

Silly me, I've double posted .... Can a mod delete this? Thanks
