> php 7.2 [d][e] common [d] , devel, minimal PHP scripting language

As you see in the output there is no "default" profile, but a "common" one (which can be omitted, like the version, which is the default)

[d] means default...

Code: Select all

dnf module install php
dnf module install php:7.2/common

P.S. referenced howto seems outdated, probably written at 8.0-Beta time

thank you!

Now to figure out how to enable php with apache2
my test.php did not work.
My assumption is I need to add php to httpd.conf

[remirepo]

By default, php-fpm will be used to served the requests and provides the needed configuration files for httpd and nginx, and both should work out of the box.

Thank you! /var/www/html works with <?php phpinfo();?>
Now to virtual host!
Note:
test.php with <?php phpinfo();?>
does not work at ~/http with a normal linux user.
VirtualHost was setup and works but php does not work in that directory.

How to virtual host!

Exactly like in previous versions.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/vhosts/

if you don´t want php-fpm take a look at /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf

[1885]

I'm having some trouble with virtual hosts and php
html works fine with virtualhosts

~/http works if it is not a virtual host

I needed to start php and httpd both
systemctl restart httpd.service
systemctl restart php-fpm.service

Thanks again for the posts

php-fpm process php out of http server, apache or nginx.

that´s why you have to restart httpd (apache) and php-fpm

if you want to use legacy mod_php take a look at my first post

mod_php works under apache context

FPM is now the default provided configuration for good reasons.

Yes, you still can use old deprecated mod_php
If you like to keep leaving in the previous century, with less security and less performance.
