Apache is downloading php files instead of displaying them
apache, centos, php
Solution
The correct AddType for php is application/x-httpd-php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Also make sure your php module is loaded
LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php55.so
When you're configuring apache then try to view the page from another browser - I've had days when chrome stubbornly caches the result and it keeps downloading the source code while in another browser it's just fine.
Problem
OS and server information: - CentOS 6.4 (Final) - Apache 2.2.15 - PHP 5.5.1 I previously had php 5.3.x installed but decided to upgrade. I first uninstalled the php 5.3.x and then installed php 5.5.1 but after the installation completed apache did not parse the php files it just downloaded them. I have checked similar questions here in stackoverflow but none of them have helped me so far. For the record I have the following lines in my httpd.conf and php.conf that should make php work but don't: ``` AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps AddHandler php5-script .php ``` I would really appreciate any help. Thank you. EDIT: I have these lines in the php.conf ``` <IfModule !worker.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so </IfModule> <IfModule worker.c> LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so </IfModule> ``` EDIT: By removing the ``` AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml ``` apache no longer downloads the file. Now apache is showing the source code, but not all of it just part. I added ``` AddType text/html .php ``` but no luck.
