启用PHP Apache2

Question

I can find the php5 mod in the mods-available directory, but I'm not sure how to get it into the mods-enabled directory.

Also, I just wanted to check that this is the way to enable php on my device...I know that PHP is installed, but another dev has disabled it (and is uncontactable)!

Answer 1

If anyone gets

ERROR: Module phpX.X does not exist!

just install the module for your current php version:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-phpX.X

Answer 2

You can use a2enmod or a2dismod to enable/disable modules by name.

From terminal, run: sudo a2enmod php5 to enable PHP5 (or some other module), then sudo service apache2 reload to reload the Apache2 configuration.

Answer 3

You have two ways to enable it.

First, you can set the absolute path of the php module file in your httpd.conf file like this:

LoadModule php5_module /path/to/mods-available/libphp5.so

Second, you can link the module file to the mods-enabled directory:

ln -s /path/to/mods-available/libphp5.so /path/to/mods-enabled/libphp5.so
