Ubuntu 16 setup

Post #1 of 4 (1560 views)

So, I'm doing my first setup...

Ubuntu 16.04

Everything works pretty well except the Apache2 configs.

I setup a config, like this:

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4>
DocumentRoot /usr/share/davical/htdocs
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
ServerName davical.example.net
ServerAlias calendar.example.net
Alias /images/ /usr/share/davical/htdocs/images/
<Directory /usr/share/davical/htdocs/>
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
AcceptPathInfo On
</VirtualHost>

[.I've actually had a variety of configs, but this is one I tried. All seemed to have the same result.]

Then I enable the site, and restart Apache.
However, when I go to http://1.2.3.4/davical/index.php I get the text of the PHP file, not a server processed PHP output.

I'm sure this is simple, but I haven't stumbled across a fix and I'm getting pretty frustrated.

Any ideas?

TIA

-Greg

I see two probable issues:

1. With that virtualhost configuration, your Davical setup is available at calendar.example.net or davical.example.net.

2. If php is not being processed, you probably need to configure Apache to hand files with a php extension over to PHP.

3. In the Davical wiki you'll find more options for the virtualhost configuration, some of which are required to have a fully working setup.

If you're getting the text of the php you might want to make sire you've run the following on that server:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0
a2enmod php7.0

These are of course assuming you want to run php 7 which I think you do unless you have some legacy php apps that don't run with it. Hope this helps

That was it. I would have though the Ubuntu package would have installed and enabled PHP as it's a requirement of the package you're installing. [.And it was a clean install - with nothing other than the basic Ubuntu 16.04 server install otherwise, so I can't see a reason PHP would have been left alone as to not conflict with another PHP instance.]

I probably should have twigged to the fact that the PHP code wasn't being executed - but I was frustrated and didn't end up down that trail.

Thanks!
