[users@httpd] .php3 files recognised but .php files not
I have just installed openSUSE Leap 15.0 on a server including Apache
2.4.33 and php 7.2.5.
If I attempt to access .php files, I'm offered them as downloads,
although renaming them to .php3 makes them work fine. I have this file
amongst my apache config
conf.d/php7.conf
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
<FilesMatch "\.ph(p[345]?|tml)$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.php[345]?s$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
DirectoryIndex index.php4
DirectoryIndex index.php5
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
I tried adding an extra FilesMatch clause, matching precisely .php, just
in case something has become broken with regular expression matching,
but that didn't help.
Please can someone suggest a way to track down the problem?
I see nothing relevant in the logs.

I'll give that a try, but I don't think that can be the case, because
the change that Peter suggested was within the IfModule block and when I
made that change it had an effect: it didn't fix the problem, but it
stopped php3 files working. I'd also at an earlier stage in trying to
trace the problem, added some random text within this block and that
caused an error on apache start up.
Thanks for the suggestion, all the same.

Re: [users@httpd] .php3 files recognised but .php files not
Posted by Yehuda Katz <ye...@ymkatz.net>.
I would suggest removing "<IfModule mod_php7.c>" from your configuration.
It is possible mod_php7 is not actually loaded and you have some other part
of your configuration that is setting the handler for .php files.
If you remove "<IfModule" and the module isn't loaded, you will get an
error message instead of having HTTPD ignore the configuration.
"<IfModule" is sometimes considered a security risk. If it is critical that
you have php code be processed instead of downloaded, you shouldn't let the
server start if there is no php handler.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still doesn't work: .php files are
still offered for download rather than being executed. Now that I've
made the change you suggested, .php3 files don't work either
unsurprisingly. There has to be something else in my configuration that
specifically stops .php files being executed but doesn't stop .php3. I
have no idea where to look.
Cheers,
Paul.

Just change it to
<IfModule mod_php7.c>
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch \.phps$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
If you really need .php3 .php4 .php5 add them as separate FilesMatch
directives.
Lot of stuff in php3/4 is deprecated on php7 so scripts written for php
that ancient are not likely to work unless they are very simple, and I
don't recall .php5 ever being an extension ever officially being promoted.
.php3 was because some servers had both php3 and php4 but I don't even
recall .php4 being an officially endorsed extension, let alone .php5.

I eventually tracked down the problem. Initially .php files were offered
for download because I hadn't added php7 to the list of modules to load.
I fixed that very quickly, but there after the file was cached by my
browser. Obvious I guess, but it confused me.
Thanks for the help.
