php upgrade, now broken

[ippy98]

 

I recently upgrade from 5.2.8 to 5.3.1 install seemed to go fine, had to recompile a couple times to get it right, now apache restarts fine, and I do not get any errors however now it just downloads php files instead of opening them like any other pages.

Have you configured Apache yet? You need to tell Apache how to handle .php files. Just compiling/installing PHP isn't enough.

 

You need to add something like the following to the httpd.conf

LoadModule php5_module /path/to/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

 

You will need to restart Apache after making any changes to the httpd.conf

Yes I had that in there already, it started partially working. Now it parses some pages, but now phpmyadmin no longer connects to the mysql, and some pages work, some dont. a simple:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

comes up as a blank page

Short tags are disabled by default. I do not recommend you to use short tags (<? ?> or <?= ?>). You should use the full length tags (<?php ?>). However to enable short tags enable a setting called short_open_tag within the php.ini

 

In order for mysql to work you need to enable the mysql extension within the php.ini too.

Thanks, I think that fixed it, I don't remember having to manually enable those when I installed 5.2.8
