Resolved Can't get php versions to serve .html as php

T

theWoosh

Basic Pleskian
Hi
I have Plesk 12.5 running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with php 5.5 out of the box. I added PHP 5.6 via plesk so I can run a site on this instead of 5.5.
The site currently runs with php as apache module and unfortunately plesk only installs FPM & fastcgi.
I have found if I switch the site to anything other than apache module (on either 5.5 or 5.6), it breaks, as html pages containing php get downloaded instead of interpreted - in other words the addhandler and addtype apache directives (that are in a .htaccess file) seem to be ignored.

I have tried several things, including adding the following to the vhost.con file (found in https://kb.odin.com/en/115773 ):

#PHP is running as an Apache module:
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
AddHandler php5-script .php .html .htm
AddType text/html .php .html .htm
</IfModule>
#PHP is running as a FastCGI application
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.html)>
SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

...this doesn't appear to make any difference at all - still can't access site with fast cgi selected.

The .htaccess file does appear to be being read.

I have also tried to configure php 5.6 as apache module using the suggestions here:
https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/...ecause-corresponding-Apache-module-turned-off but it didn't show up as an option in the control panel

Any ideas would be very welcome...
 
Hi theWoosh,

sometimes, things change... like KB - articles ( and URLs ^^ ) for example. Pls. read and follow the KB - article ( the previous KB - article https://kb.plesk.com/115773 is outdated by now ) :


... and make sure, that you didn't forget the "reconfigure" - command, after your edits at "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/conf/vhosts.conf" ( this will replace possible, corresponding ".htaccess" - modifications! ). You may now as well check at for example "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/conf/httpd.conf" ( or "httpd_ip_default.conf" ), that there have been some changes in your apache - configuration file, after the successfull "reconfigure" - command.


Since you are on Ubuntu 14.04, pls. investigate your current apache - webserver - configuration, with the output of the command ( logged in as user "root" on your server over a SSH - client, as for example "putty" ):

apachectl -V
and
apachectl -M

( or pls. post a screenshot of your Plesk Control Panel - Site: Home > Tools & Settings > Apache Web Server )​


If you experience any issues/errors/problems, pls. consider to investigate the "panel.log" and the apache2 - logs ( pls. post the logs, if you need help with the investigations! ):


Sometimes, it is as well a good idea to change the log - level ( TEMPORARILY! ), to get more informations in Plesk - log - files:





Apart from all, pls. keep in mind the "best" ( and recommended! ) configuration is to use the combination nginx+apache2+php-fpm these days. :)
 
Thanks for your reply.
It seems that the recommended additions to vhost.conf are identical in both those versions of the article - I couldn't see any difference, so I haven't changed my vhost.conf. I did do a reconfigure-all after making the changes.

Here are the outputs from apachctl:

Hi theWoosh,

you have missing ( additional ) apache-module - packages on your server:

theWoosh said:
proxy_module (shared)
proxy_fcgi_module (shared)
Click to expand...
should be:
Code: 
 proxy_module (shared)
 proxy_fcgi_module (shared)
 proxy_html_module (shared)
 proxy_http_module (shared)
 
Hi theWoosh,

first, pls. make sure, that you included as well

Code: 
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .php
( not only ".html" ! )



If this doesn't already solved your issues, pls. consider to add ALL configuration files ( from /var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/conf ) as attachments for further investigations and pls. include as well "/etc/apache2/apache2.conf" + "/etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/server.conf".
 
Ok - the problem is not with .php files, only with .html files that ocntain php.
But I couldn't see the FCGIWrapper line anywhere so I added an FCGIWrapper line so my vhost.conf file now includes this:

#PHP is running as a FastCGI application
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.html)>
SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .php
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
Options +ExecCGI
allow from all
</Files>
</IfModule>

... unfortunately it still doesn't work when I switch to fastCGI on either 5.5. or 5.6... BTW should this work for FPM as well?

I attach the conf files as requested. Thanks for your help UFHH01!

Hi Rafael - I already have that enabled in vhost.conf...
Hi UFHH01 - Thanks - could you be more specific where the problem might be with the conf files? Many Thanks
 
This thread is marked Resolved but I didn't see the OP say he had gotten it working.

I have exactly the same issue now. Plesk Onyx, Version 17.5.3 Update #6, last updated on May 26, 2017 03:33 AM. PHP version "5.4.16 by OS vendor"; running PHP as FastCGI (but as FPM fails the same way): PHP is not parsing .html files.

/var/www/vhosts/system/MYDOMAIN/conf/vhost.conf contains:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
<Files ~ (\.html)>
SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
</Files>
</IfModule>

What to do next?
 
Hi KDawson,

pls. let's investigate your root cause from the start and not from the middle:

If you desire help from the Plesk community, you should consider to provide the following informations:

YOUR current operating system
YOUR current Plesk version ( incl. #MU )​

This informations could be displayed easily by using the command "plesk version" over your command line as user "root" over SSH. ;)​


Next, it is always wise to inform us about your webserver configuration:

Are you using the combination "apache + nginx" ?

IF you use the combination "apache + nginx", pls. make sure to inform us about your settings at:

=> HOME > Subscriptions > YOUR-DOMAIN.COM > Apache & nginx Settings​

Pls. consider to post the WHOLE configuration file(s), so that we are able to investigate your issue together with you ( i.e. "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR-DOMAIN.COM/conf/httpd_ip_default.conf" or "httpd.conf" ), because the configuration files "vhosts.conf" and "vhosts_ssl.conf" are only additional apache - configuration files, while the other ones are your basic, domain - specific apache configuration files. ;)

​
 
Yes, my system uses nginx+apache. I have not changed any of the default values: MIME tyes, Handlers, Deny access to the site, and Index files all have the value "Default"; Proxy mode and Smart static files processing are checked. Additional directives for HTTP shows exactly the contents of vhost.conf. The Plesk & CentOS versions are below, along with vhost.conf and httpd.conf, sanitized for anonymity.

The correct usage would be for apache version > 2.4:
Code: 
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    <Files ~ (\.html)>
        SetHandler fcgid-script
        FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
        Options +ExecCGI
        Require all granted
    </Files>
</IfModule>

...while apache versions up to 2.2 needs the following configuration:
Code: 
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
    <Files ~ (\.html)>
        SetHandler fcgid-script
        FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
        Options +ExecCGI
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Files>
</IfModule>
 
Thank you.

But no change. PHP is not parsing HTML files. A directive such as <? include("test.html") ?> is ignored.

Hi KDawson,

pls. consider to inspect your domain - specific log - files, in order to find your root cause, because this will mostly point you directly to any possible misconfiguration.

If you desire more help, you should consider to provide the URL, so that people willing to help you have the chance to investigate possible issues/errors/problems and might point you to individual solutions/work-arounds or coding mistakes. :)
