虚拟主机不解析PHP

Question

Alright, I have spent hours searching through very similar questions but I still don't seem to have found the answer:

I have set up a virtual host with the following in my httpd-vhosts.conf

Listen 80

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test.dev
    ServerAlias test.dev
    DocumentRoot "/Users/OrangeSoda/OneDrive/Projects/Test/Website"
    ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/test.dev-error_log"
    CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/test.dev-access_log" common

    <Directory "/Users/OrangeSoda/OneDrive/Projects/Test/Website">
         Options all
         AllowOverride all
         Require all granted
    </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

In my http.conf I have Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf as well as LoadModule vhost_alias_module libexec/apache2/mod_vhost_alias.so uncommented.

When I go to test.dev/index.php which just has <?php echo "PHP TEST"; ?>, I see the contents of the file output as a string.

It seems as though PHP is not enabled and is therefore not being recognized.

If i go to localhost, I do see the "It Works!" page, so I know php is working, just for some reason not on my virtual host.

Someone suggested to put php_admin_flag engine on but that just makes the whole page crash.

Does anybody understand why php is not enabled here?

Answer 1

The solution was that while php was enabled, for some reason the default setting in httpd.conf was not to read .php files as .php.

Although I am not really sure why that would not be the default setting, I added the following to my httpd.conf and now it works just fine:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
