To troubleshoot the issue of Apache not parsing PHP files, you can refer to the following steps:

  1. Make sure PHP and its respective modules are installed: Run the command ‘php -v’ in the terminal or command prompt to ensure PHP is installed correctly. If not, refer to the official PHP documentation for installation instructions.
  2. Set up Apache to parse PHP files: Locate Apache’s configuration file (usually httpd.conf) and open it. Find the code that looks similar to the following line:
  3. Include the php_module by loading the libphp.so file.
  4. If there is a comment symbol “#” in front of this line of code, it needs to be removed to ensure that this line of code is not commented out.
  5. Configure how PHP files are handled: Locate the following line in the Apache configuration file (usually in the ” ” section):
  6. Enable PHP parsing for files with a .php extension.
  7. If this line is not found, please add it manually to configure the handling of PHP files.
  8. Restart the Apache server: After saving and closing the Apache configuration file, restart the Apache server to apply the changes.
  9. Run the following command in terminal or command prompt to restart the Apache server:
  10. Restart the apache2 service on Linux using the sudo command.
  11. On Windows: NET STOP Apache2.4 followed by NET START Apache2.4.
  12. Test Analysis: Create a simple PHP file (e.g. index.php) that includes the following code:
  13. Display PHP information.
  14. Place this file in the web root directory of Apache (usually /var/www/html or C:\xampp\htdocs).
  15. Access by entering “http://localhost/index.php” in the browser (if running Apache locally) or “http://your-domain.com/index.php” (if running Apache on a remote server).
  16. If you can see a detailed page about PHP version and configuration, it means Apache has successfully parsed the PHP files.

If the above steps are still unable to resolve the issue, please check the error logs for Apache and PHP for more detailed information and attempt further troubleshooting.
