I have VPS running Debian 5.0 (I think) and I would like to get it to run PHP files. I was told it needed to be configured with Apache. I tried entering the command apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5. But there was no change. Console output: http://pastebin.com/sVMWq6mA

This is everything in my /etc/apache2/mods-enabled: http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/6474/modsb.jpg

My webserver can be accessed here: http://206.217.223.136/test/ In my test.php file I have the code :

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

but instead of displaying the page, it tries to download it. How can I fix this?

    Run below commands again and check...

    sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 php5 sudo apt-get remove --purge libapache2-mod-php5 sudo apt-get install php5 apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start sudo a2enmod php5 sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

    I think you probably missed restarting apache2...

    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

    You will have to run this command from your root account, or put sudo on the beginning of it.

    • Looking at the site you provided, I typed this: vps:~# sudo a2enmod php4 ERROR: Module php4 does not exist!

    • @Kevin - php4 definitely won't exist, you installed php5.

    • And regarding your edited post, it says directory not found, perhaps I don't even have apache installed?

    • Ah, reinstalling just said they are at their newest version. Not sure why I don't have /etc/apache or /ect/init.d/apache2
