PHP on latest Arch Linux ARM linux

[otaku888]

I've installed the latest version of Arch Linux ARM linux, PlugApps-Linux-2011.02-rootfs.tar.gz and wonder of wonder I now have the latest versions of Sabnzbd and Cherokee running!

One thing I'm struggling with, which I understand was a issue on 1.1 as well is getting PHP to work. I've tried setting up php, php-cgi and php-fpm from the repository and none of them seem to work. I can get a fastcgi or php-fpm daemon running, but when loading a php page all I get is the source printed literally on the page.

I've also tried removing all the repo php packages and installing the one pepedog put up without pear: php-apache-optional-nopear-5.3.3-4-arm.pkg.tar.gz, and have had the same result.

Any ideas?

This isn't the fault of the php packages, all I can tell you is how apache "executes" the script instead of "printing"
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
<IfModule dir_module>
<IfModule php5_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
</IfModule>')
Might be best to look at the cook book
http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/cookbook_php.html

[otaku888]

I take it you mean it works fine for you with Apache?

I've set up cherokee and php quite a few times before, admittedly not with version 1.2.1 on Arch Linux ARM linux, but haven't had this issue, my settings also match the cookbook, and a working install on an ubuntu vps.

From my searching of the boards getting php to work always seemed to be a problem, but if that is fixed now, I'll give it a shot with apache instead.

[pepedog]

Php looks all good now. Think I will pay some interest to Cherokee
On apache I even got phpbb running fine with mysql
(this is all on latest Arch Linux ARM)

[otaku888]

Oh fantastic, thanks for the confirmation.

I'll install apache or nginx instead then, maybe it's an issue with the new version of cherokee. I know it has problems starting fast-cgi (I always had to do it manually).

[pepedog]

I just uninstalled apache and php-apache then installed cherokee.
They both use /srv/http as the doc root, and php pages serve just fine, so here is the essence of my phi.ini

BTW, I just tested cherokee with php on a phpbb install, and TorrentWatch-X as mentioned in another thread here

[otaku888]

And this is all with php-fastcgi or php-fpm?

[pepedog]

I don't see I have either installed, so probably php-cgi is doing the work

[otaku888]

Is there anything else special you are doing? because I have just tried again, using all your packages and extensions.

The same thing happened. I get an access denied error, I chown /srv/http to http:http and then all my php prints out literally.

I did a ps aux | grep php-cgi and I can see cherokee is starting a php-cgi process on port 47990 successfully, which is new for me. So that's not the problem.

I'm stumped.
