Since this morning all PHP files are returned as there original code
instead of parsed to HTML.

The server (a Debian) was installed by one of my long gone
predecessors and has been running flawlessly for several years.
Although I know my way around Linux, I don't know enough PHP or Apache
to figure out what's wrong.

As far as I can tell, nothing has happened over the weekend. The
server didn't go down. I didn't upgrade the system on Friday, either.

What more info do you need to be able to me?

Thanks,
Nick.

I had the same issue last week. My problem was a missing .so file in
the module directory. Once I got the correct .so file to go in there,
I just restart Apache and suddenly PHP was working again. Might want
to try replacing your current file if there is one already in there.
It my have become damaged.

It appears that the PHP module of Apache was uninstalled somehow and I
can't get it installed again:

moria:/var/www# apt-get install libapache-mod-php4
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely
that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libapache-mod-php4: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but
2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6 is to be installed
Depends: libdb4.4 but it is not installable
Depends: libkrb53 (>= 1.4.2) but 1.3.6-2sarge4
is to be installed
Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1) but it is not
installable
Depends: apache-common (>= 1.3.34) but
1.3.33-6sarge3 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I fear I messed up my system a bit as I notice that in the
sources.list I got an entry of Stable and one of Sarge and since begin
April Stable is Etch instead of Sarge:

moria:/var/www# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib

I think I'll head over to the Debian groups and ask there what I can
do to rescue my system.


Thanks,

Nick.

I updated the system and now I was able to install libapache-mod-php4.
Some surfing learned me to put "LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/
1.3/libphp4.so" in /etc/apache/modules.conf and restart Apache. I did
it but still no PHP parsing.

Any more ideas?

Thanks,

Nick.
