Getting PHP working in Apache2 on Mac OS X Server
In OS X Leopard, out of the box (at least on the System I got access to) Apache2 is missing an AddHandler statement for PHP, so PHP won’t work if you just enable the module. Here is how to fix that through Server Admin:
Check -> Web -> Settings -> Modules, php5_module is enabled.
In Settings -> MIME Types, check the following is present:
application/x-httpd-php php
In Settings -> MIME Types -> Content Handlers, add the following:
php5-script php
The resulting PHP entries in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf should look like this:
$ grep php httpd.conf LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so AddHandler php5-script php AddType application/x-httpd-php php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps AddType application/x-httpd-php3 php3
