Can't get php 7.1 to work on apache 2.4 (FAMP)

Question

Running FreeBSD 11, I am having trouble getting Apache 2.4 to work with PHP 7.1.

1. Built apache24 from ports
2. Built php71 from ports

3. Added index.php to DirectoryIndex (httpd.conf):

   <IfModule dir_module>
       DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
   </IfModule>

4. Added the following to the end of httpd.conf:

   <FilesMatch .php$>
       SetHandler None
       ForceType text/plain
   </FilesMatch>
   <FilesMatch .phps$>
       SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
   </FilesMatch>

index.php output
PHP does not execute, still, and I am having trouble finding details and resources to figure this out, so I am hoping someone here can offer a bit of insight.

Answer 1

Apache/PHP is handling .php files as text, because you told it to do it.

While your .phps handler is ok, you are telling Apache/PHP to handle .php files as text.

.php ->  SetHandler None ; ForceType text/plain

.phps$ -> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source

If you really want to use .php files as PHP scripts/programs, you need to setup it up with the same configuration as you have done with .phps
