I'm trying to learn PHP and so am trying to configure Apache2 on my mac (10.5.06). I had everything working fine but now can't get a test php file to load in Safari or Firefox. I'm pretty sure PHP loads because the console log says this when I launch Apache:

[Wed Apr 08 13:31:39 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.7l DAV/2 PHP/5.2.6 configured -- resuming normal operations

However, my PHP test file (<?php phpinfo(); ?>) doesn't load the PHP status page. Nor can I get the server to process any other PHP file.

Any ideas what's going on? Thanks.

Did you add the lines required to your httpd.conf (please make sure you are editing the correct one).

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

I get this problem to running PHP 5.3.0.

I did add the module and the AddType to httpd.conf

I also edited the mimes.config file to support those types.

I restarted the server several times, but still it just shows the PHP code.

I even changed the file ownership on index.php to _www.

Still, source code. This is a great site, btw. I love it.

Kenny, sounds like a strange case to me. Is there any warning in the log files when you start apache or when you load the page in question.

That's my httpd error log. I did rename php-default.ini to php.ini in the /etc/ directory, however it wasn't working before I renamed it either.

Thanks for all your help

Apparently, all it required was a restart of my machine. It is now working, namespaces and everything! Thanks for this incredible incredible resource richard.
