php not loading

[andreasdueren]

For one of my LAMP stacks I can't access the myphp page because it won't load the code but instead just print the text. Any ideas?

@andreasdueren said in php not loading:

because it won't load the code but instead just print the text

I guess you mean that the browser is displaying the php itself ? This usually points to apache configuration issue. Did you change the default?

I would also test with a very basic PHP hello world. IIRC, the file also needs the .php filename extension. Otherwise, apache may not execute it as php.

@girish I don't remember changing it. It's also identical to a clean LAMP stack I created and the root directory of my LAMP stack is working corretly, just not the phpmyadmin

@andreasdueren So, for a start, I would create a new file say hello.php with the following contents:

<?php echo '<p>hello world<p>' ?>

Then, if you visit hello.php, what do you see? The file contents or did the PHP get executed?

[andreasdueren]

@girish a new php file with this single print command in the regular LAMP folder correctly executes the php and just prints the "hello world"

[girish]

@andreasdueren I would then start editing your PHP file slowly step by step to see where it fails. For a start, just replace index.php will the hello world example and see if that works and take it from there. Maybe there is some file content encoding issue? Not sure.

@girish I‘m running a complete sendy.co instance on the LAMP stack which seems to work fine. I just can’t access the phpmyadmin

Preferably I would like to just migrate to a clean LAMP stack since something is fishy with this container. How can I smoothly transfer my database without my terminal knowledge?

@andreasdueren Oh, I went back and read what you said in the initial post. I guess "myphp page" meant PHPMyAdmin ? Didn't occur to me, I read that is "my php app". Are you accessing PHPMyAdmin via https://app.domain.com//phpmyadmin .
