PHP from an Alias directory

[squibs]

I set up a directory alias in apache

Alias /mydir /var/www/vhosts/sharedscripts 

 

In php.ini, the unix include path was commented out. I uncommented it and added my shared folder to the end

 

 

include_path = ".:/php/includes:/var/www/vhosts/sharedscripts" 

 

 

The safe_mode_include_dir was blank - I made it

safe_mode_include_dir = "/var/www/vhosts/sharedscripts" 

 

 

open_basedir is commented out.

 

PHP is served correctly from the document root, and html is served ok from the alias directory, but I get "do you want to save or open this file" for php files in the alias directory. I also can't get php files in the doc root to include php files from the alias (this is my ultimate goal). I would really appreciate any suggestions.

add this in your httpd.conf

 

<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/sharedscripts ">
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
</Directory>

 

 

cheers.
