Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi folks,

Just installed XAMPP 1.7.4 V6 on my Windows XP computer (SP3). I started up the server, and when I attempted to run a PHP script - instead of running - it just displayed the code. I then modified c:\xampp\apache\conf\httd.conf and added:

Code: Select all

LoadModule php5_module "C:/xampp/php/php5apache2_2.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "C:/xampp/php"


When I tried to restart apache it would not restart. My wbemess.log displayed:

By trial and error, I found that the line that is causing the problem is:

Code: Select all

PHPIniDir "C:/xampp/php"

However, without it I am still seeing code.

Any and all help would be appreciated. I have seen a number of solutions in this and other forums (including taking out some of the mysql dlls in the php.ini file) but I have had no luck.

Thank you for your assistance.

did you write the code????

If so, check your syntax for Short Open Tags

if not, check your syntax for Short Open Tags

That is incorrect and will be overridden by the following entry that is read after the httpd.conf file.
(All configuration files in the extra folder will override any similar entries in the httpd.conf file, so best leaving the httpd.conf file in it's default state and effecting and required changes in these extra configuration files - after making backup copies first).

This is the correct entry which is already included in the C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file and will be the setting that Apache will use

Code: Select all

#
# PHP-Module setup
#
LoadFile "C:/xampp/php/php5ts.dll"
LoadModule php5_module modules/php5apache2_2.dll

<FilesMatch "\.php$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>

So I suggest you return the httpd.conf file to it's original state and follow the short_open_tags advice given by JonB.

Also when Apache can't start the C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log file may hold more relevant clues.

Sharley,

I saw that I was making that mistake when I went to running apache from a command line and the error was outputted to the screen. The short_open_tags did not make a difference (some scripts were already configured with this). The problem turned out to be the use of a .php5 extension (all the files that were not being rendered were from an older website). Once I changed everything to .php, it worked fine.

Thank you for your assistance.
