Re: .php3 files recognised but .php files not

[Yehuda Katz <yehuda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I would suggest removing "<IfModule mod_php7.c>" from your configuration.

It is possible mod_php7 is not actually loaded and you have some other part of your configuration that is setting the handler for .php files.

If you remove "<IfModule" and the module isn't loaded, you will get an error message instead of having HTTPD ignore the configuration.

"<IfModule" is sometimes considered a security risk. If it is critical that you have php code be processed instead of downloaded, you shouldn't let the server start if there is no php handler.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still doesn't work: .php files are
still offered for download rather than being executed. Now that I've
made the change you suggested, .php3 files don't work either
unsurprisingly. There has to be something else in my configuration that
specifically stops .php files being executed but doesn't stop .php3. I
have no idea where to look.

Cheers,
