I installed apache2, php5 and the php5 apache module on Ubuntu 13.04.
Php is working on .php files but lines of php code inside html files do not execute.
Googling I found that must add AddHandler... and AddType... lines to httpd.conf but the version installed doesn't have this file or at least can't find it in /etc/apache2/
code example:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
Got it to work. my version of apache doesn't have httpd.conf, instead has php5.conf in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/
editing that file, found this:
<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[345]?|t|tml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
SetHandler applicatio
....
....
added the lines:
<FilesMatch ".+\.html$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
now php parses the html files and <?php ... ?> code works.
You can probably check under /etc/conf/httpd/httpd.conf
Alternatively you may want to use the 'find' command or run 'updatedb' and then 'locate httpd.conf' file.
The issue is unless you add the correct directives in httpd.conf - your php file will be rendered as a plain text file. Hence you wil have to LoadModule && AddType to get it running.
You can probably use a .htaccess configuration file for this.
Create a blank text file and name it .htaccess
(If your operating system does not allow file names starting with a dot just name the file temp.htaccess temporarily. After you have uploaded it to your server, rename the file to .htaccess)
Add the following line into the file:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
If this does not work, try changing it to:
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm
This is assuming that your apache configuration allows for .htaccess files to override the default settings.
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf. will post details soon.Add the following lines in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php7.0.conf SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
this worked for me. Thx Lukjar
locate httpd.confto get paths to the file I believe.
