RE: PHP works but not PHP pages. (Apache Users)

Reconfiguring PHP with: “./configure --with-apxs2=/opt/httpd/bin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-mbstring --with-pdo-mysql”

Seems to have fixed the error “Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /www/html/phpMyAdmin-4.1.8-all-languages/libraries/php-gettext/gettext.inc on line 177”

Now a new error comes up on the other: “Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY' in /www/html/auditprotocol/includes/db-core.php on line 13” Which looks like a PDO problem and so far rebuilding PHP with PDO support has not worked.

And, of course, the second error is complaining that your directory permissions are incorrect.

According to you httpd.conf file you're running the httpd server with user/group daemon/daemon! That's probably not a good idea, assuming that's a system-created account (I've seen it created by linux in a fair number of /etc/password files). You should create a new local service account and use that only for httpd...then set the owner of the files to that account/group...as well as the appropriate permission.

I added your suggestion to the top of a phpMyAdmin index.php page which displayed this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_detect_encoding() in /www/html/phpMyAdmin-4.1.8-all-languages/libraries/php-gettext/gettext.inc on line 177

And another PHP application:

y all PHP pages except for my test.php will not display?

My fresh install from source of Apache 2.4.7 and PHP 5.5.10

So you can display your test.php in the browser and not any other page?

If so...sounds like httpd is setup correctly and you may have errors in your php. Have you added error/warning statements to those PHP pages that aren't working, to see if there are PHP errors?

<?php

//at the top of your .php file

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

//...your stuff

?>
