One of the replys that I received was that the latest php port was broken and try the previous version. I haven't had chance to try that yet though. Rob Hi Rob, I'm hearing that too now as well... wish I'd realized it sooner. I wonder whether just reverting to an earlier version of PHP5 will be enough though, or if it will also require an earlier apache version... I guess we'll find out! Thanks, ~John John, PHP4 works fine with Apache22, as I understand it; it is just the latest port of PHP5 that the problem is with.

Not toast, exactly. Another configuration error, most likely. httpd.conf tells the server which file(s) is/are acceptable as INDEX files. If all your index files were index.php, for example, and the httpd.conf file (which is new, apparently?) says that only index.html files are allowed as INDEX files, you'll get this error every time. I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path. But when I started apache, I got some very peculiar errors: Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com] does not exist Not only did I confirm beforehand that I had set the DocumentRoot path, and that apache was using the correct config file... but these dummy paths didn't exist in the config file! I learned eventually that a new apache directive splits out virtual host directives to a new include file (/usr/local/etc/apache22/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf). Then I learned after getting a server warning (NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts) that the syntax has been slightly modified, so that the IP/port value of each VirtualHost specification must match that of the NameVirtualHost directive (i.e., NameVirtualHost *:80 and VirtualHost *:80). Still having trouble though: my main site loads properly, but the other virtual hosts aren't. Browsing to any virtual host address other than the default results in either the wrong content or an error. Here's what my httpd-vhosts.conf looks like: NameVirtualHost *:80 VirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.SiteA.com ServerAlias SiteA.com *.SiteA.com DocumentRoot /usr/www ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteA-access.log combined /VirtualHost VirtualHost *:80 ServerName www.SiteB.com ServerAlias SiteB.com *.SiteB.com DocumentRoot /usr/www2 ErrorLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-error.log CustomLog /var/log/httpd-SiteB-access.log combined /VirtualHost IANAE here, but that's not like my httpd.conf, in which the ports aren't specified. I also don't use ServerAlias directives. Like I said, no expert. So, what's happening is that SiteA works as expected, but browsing to SiteB brings you to SiteA, or doesn't load at all (403 error). In addition, I'm back to my original problem, where PHP files are not loading, and browsing to a PHP page prompts the user to download the page as a file. Any help on either the virtual hosts or the PHP download issue would be greatly appreciated. You said you did this already, but I'd again make **sure** I was editing the correct httpd.conf. Get the right syntax, and it'll be there. Watch out for IF syntax, also. Can you post the relevant lines (AddModule, LoadModule, AddType) and whether or not they are contained in an IF ??

As you are probably already painfully aware, this is *usually* due to the absence of the necessary lines in the httpd.conf file; specifically, AddModule and LoadModule (pointing to the PHP shared object) and AddType (referring to the MIME type for PHP files). Hi Kevin. Yes: painfully aware at this point. /usr/ports/UPGRADING mentions that PHP has been streamlined and must be recompiled to work with Apache and other packages. After deinstalling, configuring (where applicable), and reinstalling PHP5, php5-extensions, and apache2 to the latest versions, not only were PHP files not being served, but my web server was toast: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

If all your index files were index.php, for example, and the httpd.conf file (which is new, apparently?) says that only index.html files are allowed as INDEX files, you'll get this error every time. Yup... and with apache22, one of the benefits is that the PHP file handler lines are automatically filled in when compiling PHP (although I assume that would be the case with any version of apache as well). I edited the new apache config file (now located in /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf) with my system information, including a DocumentRoot path. But when I started apache, I got some very peculiar errors: Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com] does not exist Warning: DocumentRoot [/www/docs/dummy-host2.example.com] does not exist Not only did I confirm beforehand that I had set the DocumentRoot path, and that apache was using the correct config file... but these dummy paths didn't exist in the config file!

I also don't use ServerAlias directives. Like I said, no expert. Right: that's not from the httpd.conf file itself any longer; it's the httpd-vhosts.conf file, which is called on as an include in the 2.2 version of httpd.conf. In earlier versions, the VirtualHost directives have been moved from the main config file to that include file. And the IP/port specification for each VirtualHost entry must now match that of the NameVirtualHost entry (as shown above). So, what's happening is that SiteA works as expected, but browsing to SiteB brings you to SiteA, or doesn't load at all (403 error). In addition, I'm back to my original problem, where PHP files are not loading, and browsing to a PHP page prompts the user to download the page as a file. Any help on either the virtual hosts or the PHP download issue would be greatly appreciated. You said you did this already, but I'd again make **sure** I was editing the correct httpd.conf. Get the right syntax, and it'll be there. Watch out for IF syntax, also. I triple-checked the config to make sure apache is loading the correct config file. In fact, I've finally gotten the config to the point where none of the apache self-tests report any syntax or configuration errors at all. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean it works as I'd expected; just means there are no syntax errors. Can you post the relevant lines (AddModule, LoadModule, AddType) and whether or not they are contained in an IF ?? Please find my httpd.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf
