However, the html file containing the php script remains unchanged. The instruction: .... <?php phpinfo() ?> .... Does not show the version of php.

Below is an extract of an (to now) unanswered question: .... <FilesMatch \.php$> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch Apparently this should be part of the addtype directive. I don't understand which file I am to edit and add the code shown above. .... So perhaps apache is not configured but I don't know how to test this.
From: chris h on 18 Aug 2010 06:58 What are the actual file permissions when you run ls -o? Do you know if PHP is installed as an apache mod or cgi? Also you might check what user apache is running as. possibly... $ vi /etc/apache2/envvars and look for something like... export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 6:47 AM, e-letter <inpost(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On 18/08/2010, chris h <chris404(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > php is not processing the file.
