PHP on centos 6 not working

Question

I have installed PHP, MySQL, Apache on CentOS 6, now I have restarted the Apache and mysql, to test PHP I have created a index.php on /var/www/html/test/ now once I go to localhost/test/index.php then it shows only PHP source code like this:

From Gnouc comment, I understand that it is due to SELinux security layer.
To work with HTML directory i did this in my terminal, but still i have the same result:

[root@localhost www]# chcon -v --type=httpd_sys_content_t html
changing security context of `html`

Any idea?

Solution 1

If your SELinux config is ok, it seems that this error occured because server configuration.

If you have installed php, then make sure that it is loaded by apache and apache is associated with php handler.

LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And you should check your .htaccess. It may have some configurations that overrided apache's config.

Solution 2

yum install mod_php -y
systemctl restart httpd.service

Is SELinux enable?

[Admin]

if it is enable should i disable it? and if so does it effects on the security?

[Admin]

If SELinux is enable, you should check if it allow cgi script to execute and make sure ownership of php file, and allow it executable.

Don't mind, i'm really new to linux, i run those commands but it shows error: bash: LoadModule: command not found bash: LoadModule: command not found Thanks

@rakibtg: No, you should check that those lines is in your apache config and are not commented.

[MikeH]

Ops! i think i have nothing like LoadModule php... in my httpd.conf file , any idea?

[cuonglm]

@rakibtg: Do you have any php.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d?

[MikeH]

I think no there isn't any file like php.conf ! i.stack.imgur.com/Lv7v1.png What i should do now? Thanks for your time :)

[cuonglm]

Oh, You should install mod_php.

[MikeH]

How i can install mod_php, because i have already installed apache?

[cuonglm]

Maybe yum --enablerepo=centosplus install mod_php

Please note that on a CentOS 6 machine, systemctl restart httpd.service will return a "command not found." service httpd restart would be the correct means of restarting the httpd service.
