What to do if apache fails to start php

During the development process, Apache server and PHP are two technologies that are often used. However, when running Apache server and PHP, you will inevitably encounter various problems. One of the common errors is that Apache fails to start PHP. This article will describe several causes and solutions that may cause this problem.

1. There is a problem with the configuration file

If the Apache server and PHP are not configured correctly, it may cause PHP to fail to start. Before running the Apache server, make sure you have correctly configured files such as HTTPD.conf and PHP.ini. In the HTTPD.conf file, verify the following items:

1）LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so：确保模块路径正确。

2）AddType application/x-httpd-php .php：这告诉Apache应该将PHP解释为.php文件。

In the PHP.ini file, make sure the following items are correct:

1）extension_dir = "ext"：确保扩展目录设置正确。

2）extension=php_mysqli.dll：确保mysqli扩展被正确加载。

2. Incorrect PHP version

Another common problem is that the Apache server cannot correctly identify the version of PHP before it runs. If the PHP version used is lower than the minimum version required by the Apache server, it will cause startup failure. Make sure the PHP version you are using is compatible with Apache's version.

3. Port Conflict

If another program is using a port required by Apache, then Apache cannot start properly. By default, the HTTP server runs on TCP port number 80. If this port is already occupied, Apache will not start. You can try to modify the startup port of the HTTP server to avoid port conflicts.

4. PHP extension is not installed or is disabled

PHP extension is very important for running PHP scripts. If the extension is not properly installed or enabled, you cannot run PHP scripts. This problem can be solved by installing the extension or enabling the extension in the PHP.ini file. You can install extensions on Linux with the following command:

sudo apt-get install php-curl

or

sudo yum install php-curl

If you need to enable the installed extension, find the extension=xxx.so statement in the PHP.ini file, and Replace "xxx.so" with the extension you need to enable.

5. PHP script syntax errors

Syntax errors in PHP scripts may cause Apache to fail to interpret the PHP script correctly. Be sure to double-check the syntax of your PHP script before running it, and check the error log for any problems that may arise. You can also enable PHP's debug mode to make it easier to find the problem if something goes wrong with your PHP script.

Conclusion:

By carefully studying the above methods, it is very likely that you can avoid the problem of Apache failing to start PHP.
