I have installed all of the following packages:

  • apache2
  • php5
  • apache2-mod_php5

However, when opening a .php file in the web browser on my server, I am offered to download the file.

apache2ctl -M does not list mod_php as loaded.

Why does it not automatically load my PHP module?

The installation process for apache2-mod_php5 seems to be broken. It adds the module with an incorrect name to the Apache config.

Open the file /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and find the line starting with APACHE_MODULES=. At the end of this line the PHP module is added as apache2-mod_php5. This is an incorrect name, change this to mod_php5 and restart Apache with service restart apache2.

The PHP module should now cload correctly.
