Weird Apache/PHP issue

I'm running linux, with Apache installed locally for development. At some point while I wasn't looking, Apache quit processing PHP. It just displays source code. I have no idea what I did to break it.

I've just reinstalled apache (2.0.54-r8) and mod_php (4.4.0). I did configure mod_php to work with apache2.

I've been through the HOWTO's over and over, checking my configuration. Here's the details (I think I'm getting all the configuration files):

/etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf:
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so

/etc/apache2/conf/commonapache2.conf:
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
TypesConfig conf/mime.types

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-source .phps
</IfModule>

(So maybe mod_mime isn't loading? How can I check that?)

/usr/liblapache2/build/config_vars.mk has
DSO_MODULES = ... mime ...
(Lots of others, I'll be happy to paste them all if anyone's interested)

/etc/apache2/conf/apache2.conf does have
LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so

/etc/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf -- a default version that got installed automatically at some point. When I put garbage in there, apache won't start.

When I use /etc/init.d/apache2 restart I get the following in my error log:
[Mon Aug 08 20:31:44 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Mon Aug 08 20:31:44 2005] [notice] Digest: done
[Mon Aug 08 20:31:45 2005] [notice] Apache/2.0.54 (Gentoo/Linux) configured -- resuming normal opera
tions

Using apache2ctl -D PHP4 -D PYTHON -k restart, I get this:

[Fri Aug 12 15:26:24 2005] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Fri Aug 12 15:26:24 2005] [notice] Digest: done

es and 0 max threads.

Everything else in the error logs looks peachy.

/etc/apache2/apache2-builtin-mods has the line (still wondering if it could be some sort of mime problem):
mod_mime shared

/etc/conf.d/apache2 does have the line
APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP4 -D PYTHON"

Python and perl cgi work fine, BTW.

Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance,
James

 

I've been beating my head against the wall for days on this. I post to a forum, and the solution falls into my lap. Go figure.

When I first started looking into the problem, I ran across a post advising people to add the following line to commonapache2.conf:

AddType text/html .php

I did, it didn't fix the problem, and I pretty much forgot about it. I've been meaning to take it back out, with all the other trouble-shooting I've done, but I never could seem to find it.

Today, digging through the configuration files some more, I finally ran back across it, REM'd the line out, and PHP started working again.

I hate wasting time on server configuration

 

you have to recompile apache I think...also try to recompile php from source
