Enabling PHP at Leopard’s Apache

Jan 22

I don’t know why PHP is not enabled by default at Leopard’s Apache.

To enable it you must uncomment this line from /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

And that’s all! You only need to turn on Web Sharing at System Preferences.

If you want to test that PHP works properly, you can write a file called, for instance, info.php which contains this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Locate it into:

/Library/WebServer/Documents

And finally, access to http://localhost/info.php using your favorite web browser to test that you get the php report.
