Question

Installed:

Entropy PHP 5.3.03.pkg

I have been trying to enable php on my mac. But everytime I point the browser to my test.php all I get is the source code being displayed:

I put my test.php in the following location:

user/admin/sites

And I browse to in using the following url:

http://localhost/~admin/test.php

and all I see is this:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

I have done the following:

cp /etc/php.ini.default /etc/php.ini

chmod 666 /etc/php.ini

I have enabled web sharing in system preferences | web sharing

I have also uncommented the line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

I have restarted apache

apachectl restart

However, I always end up with the source code being displayed.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

I can’t answer your particular problem directly, but if you continue to have issues, may I suggest easy alternative? Install MAMP. Works like a charm with very little setup. Website here: http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html
