PHP mit Apache24

Hi everyone,
for 2 hours now I am scratching my head and try to figure out why a new jail with Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.2 does not execute PHP scripts - it just echos the script's source code instead.

it should just replace an old jail I installed 3 years ago, so I followed the same recipe. It is FreeBSD 12.1, and I use compiled packages from the FreeBSD repositories.

First I installed apache24 and mod_php72, and wrote under /usr/local/etc/apache/24/Includes/php.conf

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>

I also saw, that there is a LoadModule line in httpd.conf, as expected.

Did not work, so I deinstalled mod_php72 and tried to use PHP-FPM instead.

service php-fpm start

and a php-fpm.conf:

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler proxy:fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000
</FilesMatch>

FPM is listening on port 9000, i can telnet to it. Still - the web page shows the source code only (checked again the blank page with looking at the page source).

What am I missing here?

The old server is running fine with mod_php56, and the same php.conf as shown above.

What am I missing?

Please let me know.

Thank you
Peter
 
Check that the httpd.conf file is set to read the Includes folder configs, that might be commented out

Is this a typo in posting to the forum
/usr/local/etc/apache/24/Includes/php.conf
verses the correct /usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/php.conf
 
Does it have to be Apache? I happen to find Nginx's configuration way easier to deal with. Might be worth a thought unless you have some hard requirement on Apache like needing to support .htaccess files.
 
Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.x run fine on FreeBSD 11.x and 12.x.

But, first off, you need to choose mod_php OR php-fpm - I see you tried both - which one do you want to work?

php-fpm is the modern way, mod_php is deprecated but still works very well.

Side note: PHP 7.2 is EOL in 2 months so you might want to consider going to 7.3 or 7.4 if you can.

If mod_php - have you loaded the module as well? You said yes, so don't think that's the problem:

Code:
LoadModule php7_module        libexec/apache24/libphp7.so

Next - I've got this:

Code:
<IfModule php7_module>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
</IfModule>

Instead of using an include file - just try both the above in httpd.conf to see if that makes any difference.

Are you restarting Apache each time you've made any changes to httpd.conf?
 
Thanks everyone for the answers. It works now.

I just deinstalled apache24, deleted /usr/local/etc/apache24, installed it again and mod_php72 afterwards, with the apache config as posted above.

I am not sure what fooled me a few days ago. I might not even role out my browser cache.

Thanks for pointing out the life span of PHP 7.2. It was installed as a Wordpress dependency.

Well, the Wordpress upgrade mangled the website, so I rolled back for now (using the old jail). I need to investigate that. But that's another story.

Thanks again.

Peter
