Testing the VCL Frontend Code
Hi,
I'm having issues testing the VCL frontend code. I'm trying to open the
testsetup.php file in firefox, but it Firefox is prompting to have me open
or download the file. I am trying to open this up locally for now, but I
don't know if I did something wrong when modifying conf.php or secrets.php,
or if it's something with the server. If anyone has any insight, I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks,

Ben
This looks right. This is what I have (CentOS 5.x):
php.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-cli.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-common.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-gd.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-ldap.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-mcrypt.x86_64 5.1.6-15.el5.centos.1 installed
php-mysql.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-pdo.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-xml.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
php-xmlrpc.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
Can you check if you have php.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ folder?
Is apache configured to Include conf.d/*.conf?
Also, try to disable selinux in /etc/sysconfig/selinux, SELINUX=disabled.
Thanks.

Hi,
I did the 'yum list installed | grep php' command and got:
[root@vcl web]# yum list installed | grep php
php.x86_64 5.3.8-3.fc15
@updates
php-cli.x86_64 5.3.8-3.fc15

php-common.x86_64 5.3.8-3.fc15

I also tried Josh's code and that didn't work after I restarted the httpd
service:
[root@vcl web]# service httpd restart
Restarting httpd (via systemctl): [ OK ]
I'm guessing I have to reinstall php or update it, but I'm not sure how.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Ben,
On RedHat/CentOS 'yum install php' doesn't restart httpd service.
* On Ubuntu it will restart apache service as part of install (apt-get install php).
Thanks.

Ben
Could you please restart httpd service and try to access testsetup.php again?
You probably installed all necessary PHP packages, but httpd task needs to restarted to re-read .conf files to include PHP.
Thanks

It doesn't sound like php is installed correctly.
Php code is normally interpreted by the web server.
Which, in turn, returns HTML code to the
web browser.
For example, the Redhat Apache file
'/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.ini' contains
the line 'AddHandler php5-script .php'
which tells the Apache web server to run
files with the '.php' extension through the php
interpreter.
Also, HTML code normally contains a header that the browser
should recognize.
i.e. 'view source' contains the document type of HTML at the top
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
If the browser recognizes the document type as html,
it shouldn't ask you to 'save to file'.
Try 'yum list installed | grep php' to see if php
is installed.
You should see something like:
> [root@vcl conf.d]# yum list installed | grep php
> php.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
> php-cli.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed

> php-mysql.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
> php-pdo.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
> php-pear.noarch 1:1.4.9-6.el5 installed
> php-pecl-apc.x86_64 3.0.19-2.el5 installed

> php-xmlrpc.x86_64 5.1.6-27.el5_5.3 installed
I'm guessing we've got a chicken and the egg problem. How go you run
'testsetup.php' to test your php installation before you've installed
php?

Ben,
It sounds like your web server might not be executing the php code but just
giving you the php file directly. If you download the file, does it contain
php code?
As a simpler test, you could create a simple php script with the following in
it:
- ------- don't include this line --------
<?php
print "Hello world";
?>
- ------- don't include this line --------
If you load that page and get only "Hello world", it is processing php
correctly. If it prompts you to open or download the file, you have a php
processing problem, in which case you'll need to look at the documentation for
your linux distro on setting up php.
