Hi,

I have just setup a 512 linode account with LAMP stack for Ubntu 10.04 LTS and followed guides by linode to setup sites.

Everything is working fine but I want to run PHP code under html files for that I have tried adding

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php .html .htm

in .htaccess file and sites_available/virtualhost file as well but its not working, view source html file shows php code in it and not being parsed at server.

please help!

Have you tried restarting apache since adding the new handler?

yes I have restarted and reloaded apache number of times but no effect.

Following the pattern from /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf (which may or may not be a relic from a previous version, since it was last changed back in 2008 on my system, which was around the time I set up that Linode), you could try with the following in your .htaccess:

  AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

If that doesn't work, you could instead try the following in .htaccess (pattern found in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf):

    <FilesMatch "\.html?$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>

Either of these versions will match both .htm and .html file extensions.

Thanks a lot ... it worked ... earlier I was trying AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .html .htm which prompted me to download files.

But can you guide me about how to add this line in httpd.conf or php5.conf (dont not exists), so I dont have to add this line in every .htaccess?

.htaccess for mod_php ^

SetEnv PHPRC /location/todir/containing/phpinifile

.htaccess for php as cgi ^

AddHandler php-cgi .php .htm
Action php-cgi /cgi-bin/php5.cgi

Shell wrapper for custom php.ini ^

#!/bin/sh
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=3
exec php5.cgi -c /abs/php5/php.ini



That's a little guide of what you have to use your htaccess

Regards
