I have a vps with bigrock which had php version 5.3.3 installed. I have recently upgraded php to version 5.6 because some php functions were not working. Now after removing old php and installing version 5.6 i can use php from terminal but files on my website are not being executed instead files are being downloaded with all php source code.

I think that apache is not using newly installed php. To solve this i added this line in my httpd.conf file :

LoadModule php5_module "/usr/bin/php"

This php path i got by which php command. When i added this line and restarted apache it gave me a warning

[warn] module php5_module is already loaded, skipping

I think that i need to tell apache correctly about newly installed php.

  • Look in the other '.conf' files - perhaps 'php.conf' You're being told that it has already been configured elsewhere.

  • Does your configuration have a SetHandler application/x-httpd-php or 'AddType application/x-httpd-php .php'? Apache is not sending the scripts to php to be parsed when the browser downloads the code. Module already loaded warning means LoadModule was defined more than once.

  • I have added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in httpd.conf. But i think that LoadModule is trying to load old version of php and i don't know in which configuration file. @Gmck

    Are you on a cpanel/WHM server?. Cpanel/WHM servers have php module already in their templates. That might be the reason.

Seing this:

LoadModule php5_module "/usr/bin/php"

I dont think that /usr/bin/php is the php module, it's the interpreter. Search for libphp5 or such, find /usr/lib | grep php or even better, list your php package's files and check for libphp, for example iwth rpm based distros:

for i in $(rpm -qa | grep php); do rpm -ql $i | grep libphp; done

Dont forget to check you're apache's error log too.

  • I have removed the LoadModule line. I checked the php.conf file in which libphp5.so is loading properly. and also there is nothing in error log file. Please suggest me something. My website is down. @fredi
