Bug Description

Binary package hint: php5

Installed apache via synaptics, successfully.
Needed PHP
Installed php5, does not work.

Symptom:
When trying to open a *.php page containing <?php phpinfo(); ?> on my apache server all I get is a message box asking me if I want to save or open the page.
Contents of /var/log/apache/error.log does not show a php entry.
After a day of Google found the cause: installation program does not create a file php5.load. Manually creating it and putting a line

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

 then placing it in the /etc/apache2/mods-availible and making a soft link to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled helped. After restarting Apache phpinfo worked just fine.

I can't reproduce the issue.
Steps i do to try to reproduce it:
1. install php5 (it installs apache2 as dependency)
2. place a file in /var/www as the follow:
[buster:/var/www] nxvl$ cat index.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
3. Open a browser and point it to http://127.0.0.1/index.php

Result: It shows the php information required.

I'm marking this bug as invalid. Please open the bug if someone can reproduce it. Or the reporter includes a new test case.

Changed in php5:
status: New → Invalid

I had Apache installed first, then PHP. Might that be a source of
problem? In my setup I tried most of the day before fixing it
manually...

yes, it came originally on the first install.. see output of dpkg-l
below. I did not change anything later, except to install PHP which
did not work because of this little glitch which I fixed manually.
