Php 5.1

[freedman]

I installed php 5.1.2 using cpanel.

As a result when i try to open a php I have only the option to download a file.
How to fix that ?

Sounds like somethings wrong with the httpd.conf:
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

look for the following:
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
#AddModule mod_php5.c

--the modules should be commented out and handlers put in (you can run the modules if you wish, but I find it's best otherwise)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.wml index.cgi index.shtml index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml index.htm default.htm default.html home.htm
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml


without the the AddTypes, apache wont know what to do with php files so it assumes it's just a file, the browser doesn't recognize the filetype so it assumes it should just save it.

I tried such you suggested but nothing to do
However after /scripts/easypache option 6 with php 5.1.2 , I found 2 copies of php but I cannot see php 5 !

nothing to do . I tried also to compile php 5.1.2 itselfs using the instructions here
Php 5.1 but using latest zend 3.0

or I receive a white page , or a download page whe I open a php page , or phpinfo shows 4.4.2 when it should show 5.1.2 !

addhanlders and addtype are all there .

I tried also to compile 5.1.3 , nothing to do ..

The problem should not be zend opt , since I have latest zend 3.0.

check /usr/bin/php -v
and /usr/local/bin/php -v
again, to see where it installed 5.1.2--if you followed those instructions then it's there somewhere, but it may not be the one that gets executed by apache.

also, in the buildapache area on cpanel, make sure ONLY 5.1.2 is checked and no other php versions (it is supposed to default to the higest one if multiple versions are selected, but this doesn't seem to happen all the time)

on /usr/bin/php

I have 4.4.2 cgi

A question...

How can I know exactly the location of php (bin location) currently used by apache ?

does that imply that /usr/local/bin/php was 5.1.2?
if so, just copy that binary over to /usr/bin and you'l be ok (for now).

I *think* apache uses the path from /etc/bashrc--apache runs as nobody which has shell /sbin/nologin which I THINK (I'm not positive--hopefully someone can validate this) executes processes similarly to a bash shell.

Apache uses /usr/bin/php when running it with phpsuexec. You can get this from:

strings /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd | grep php

If you're running it as a module, then it's using:

/usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp*.so

Obviously, when you run a php script from shell, the binary used is the one you specifiy (or the one which first appears in your path statment):

whereis php

Glad to see php5.1.2 supported in CPanel n ow. I've decided to do upgrades of PHP separate from when they are available in WHM, because CPanel is just too slow with having new versions available.

Now I have php5.1.2 and MySQL5.0.18 working wonderfully.

Lucky you. This is what buildapache says for me:

Invalid Configuration: php-504 blocks install because [MySQL 5.0.21 or later required.]
or
Invalid Configuration: php-505 blocks install because [MySQL 5.0.21 or later required.]
Invalid Configuration: php-512 blocks install because [MySQL 5.0.21 or later required.]
Invalid Configuration: php-514 blocks install because [MySQL 5.0.21 or later required.]

Anyone know off the top of their head if this is a bug or actually the case?

This is a stable build, which looks like mysqlup goes to 5.0.18-standard

I couldn't find anything in the changelog regarding MySQL 5.0.21 support on later builds.
I am guessing mysqlup uses yum which in turn is telling my system to use what CentOS considers a good version to use. No?

Any clues?
