Enabling PHP5 on Apache

Reported by: zerowired@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…

Component: ports Version: 2.1.3

Port: php5

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

OS X Server 10.6.8

Loaded apache2 and php5 - smooth no problems.

Last PHP instructions to assist in enabling PHP on Apache were these: 

To enable PHP in Apache, run
  cd /opt/local/apache2/modules
  /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so

That worked correctly - and added the 'LoadModule' in the httpd.conf file.

Tested PHP on a browser - it did not work.

Apache documentation said FIlesMatch needed to be added to the httpd.conf file for PHP to work: 

# Then, configure the handler for all files that end with .php

# A regexp such as \.(php|php4|php5)$ can also be used to support more extensions


<FilesMatch \.php$>

  SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

</FilesMatch>

That fixed the problem.

Thank you for your excellent work - I tried a raw build (outside of MacPorts) of PHP and it failed with symbol problems.

The intention is that you will include extra/mod_php.conf in your httpd.conf. So I think your only complaint is that the port doesn't tell you to do this, which is covered by #12108.
