phpmyadmin - list files in directory - apache

Question

I have apache+mysql+phpmyadmnin under Gentoo.
phpmyadmin-3.2.2
It worked fine before, but now, when I'm loading http://localhost/phpmyadmin I get a list of flies in phpmyadmin-directory, and when I chose index.php, I get it's own code.
What I did wrong?

Answer 1

It means that apache does not recognizes neither of your files as php executables. Maybe you run an 'emerge update world' and then an 'env-update' which install a new apache2 version and then re-write the old apache config file. As LiraNuna mentioned, you need to check that the phpMyAdmin directory contains the proper instruction to load the proper PHP module. In this way apache will know how to handle the php files.
This is what I have on /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include under the phpMyAdmin Directory definition:
Alias /phpMyAdmin /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpMyAdmin
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/phpMyAdmin>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php
# Authorize for setup
<Files setup.php>
# For Apache 1.3 and 2.0
<IfModule mod_auth.c>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
</IfModule>
# For Apache 2.2
<IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
</IfModule>
Require valid-user
</Files>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag track_vars On
php_flag register_globals Off
php_value include_path .
&lt/IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag track_vars On
php_flag register_globals Off
php_value include_path .
</IfModule>
</Directory>
This should solve your problem.

Answer 2

Is mod_php5 installed? If so, do you have the php handler set up to handle .php files?
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
If you are not using mod_php5, do you use any form of CGI? Do the .php files have execute permissions?
