Nagios install stopped at PHP test

[jbruyet]

Hey all, I'm going to move my Nagios server over from a Debian server to a FreeBSD 9.0 server. I'm following the instructions on this page:

http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-and-configure-nagios-in-freebsd/

and I've made it down to here:

[B]11-Check  phpinfo page[/B]

Document root  starndart in apache  is    /usr/local/www/apache22/data
Add the code to the file test.hpecho “<? phpinfo(); ?>” >> /usr/local/www/apache22/data/test.php

I can't seem to get a successful test. There are a couple of typos on the page but I've done several attempts with what I think are logical "typo changes" but no joy. I've even put the

<? phpinfo(); ?>

in the file manually but when I navigate to it I just get a page with that text on it. I'm not an Apache or a PHP guy so I'm pretty much flying blind here. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong so I can correct it and get on with my Nagios install?

Thanks,

Joe b

You need to add these to httpd.conf for PHP to work:

    # PHP5
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

You also need to build PHP from ports, the package doesn't contain the needed apache module.

Please have a look at http://www.freebsdmadeeasy.com/tutorials/web-server/install-php-5-for-web-hosting.php.

When you run make config you will be shown a list of options. To use PHP with Apache make sure the Apache Module box is selected.

This should help you to get your Apache with PHP5 up and running.

Try to get comfortable with installing software from ports e.g. with ports-mgmt/portmaster.
