apache2 and php5-fpm, how to correctly process *.phps files?

Question

I've setup my server using apache2 and php5-fpm, pretty much like in this guide: http://www.versatilewebsolutions.com/blog/2012/11/installing-apache-2-with-php-fastcgi-on-ubuntu-12-10.html

The only question left is, how can I configure it to correctly process the *.phps files? I want to show the highlighted code of them.

There are guides for nginx and php-fpm ( https://blog.kamalnasser.net/post/highlighting-phps-files-in-nginx/ ), but what should we do with apache2 ?

Answer 1

Caveats: Ubuntu 14.10, Apache/2.4.10

In the file /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf:

<FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    # Deny access to raw php sources by default
    # To re-enable it's recommended to enable access to the files
    # only in specific virtual host or directory
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Add a with "Allow from all" (or something more appropriate to your paranoia-level) to you host config, and you'll be all set.

My config:

<Directory /my/very/long/and/winding/server/path/public_html/phpsource/>
    <FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
        Order Deny,Allow
        Allow from all
    </FilesMatch>
</Directory>

Php Source files in other directories get denied, the ones in that directory gets displayed. It works like a charm...

Answer 2

This should do it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Add it to your apache config file. There should be a similar line like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

So just add it below.
