 |
|
I've been trying to get PHP running with apache2 for a couple days now, and I can't figure out what is wrong.
If i run '/etc/init.d/apache2 module' it shows "php5_module (shared)"
I have added the "-D PHP5" to my APACHE2_OPTS variable.
Everything looks like it should be working, but PHP content renders blank. Also, if I navigate to the server it chooses index.html rather than index.php for the default web page.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I seem to be having the same issue as the guy here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-843920.html, which he solved by 'enabling the redirect'. What is this? I've looked everywhere online and I can't figure out what this redirect is or what he did. |

I suspect a bug in the php script. Sometimes if I have a php script bug - like a missing ; for instance - the script doesn't run and I'm left with a blank page. No error message. Create the tiniest php script and test:
| Code: | | <?php print "hello"; ?> |
Increase the script size slowly with retesting. |

Of course. php.ini has a setting for this: display_errors = On
It is usually Off for security reasons. |

Wasn't there a php.ini setting to also allow only <? ?>?

Yes but it's not recommended to use this format if your code needs to be portable:
| /etc/php/apache2-php5/php.ini: | ; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = On
