install just showing text (looks like php)

[kurtrr]

I think I've installed all the prereq's but when i go to zencart (http://localhost/~kurtrr/zencart/) i get a page of text. And when I go to http://localhost/~kurtrr/zencart/zc_install it opens up another text page. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 with the prereq software loaded from it's app source.

http://localhost/~kurtrr/zencart/ has the following as the first few lines:*
Load application_top.php - see {@tutorial initsystem}
*
Set main language directory based on $_SESSION['language']
*
Load all *header_php.php files from includes/modules/pages/PAGE_NAME/
*
Load html_header.php (this is a common template file)
*
Load main_template_vars.php (this is a common template file)
*
Load on_load scripts (page based and site wide)
*
Load tpl_main_page.php (this is a common template file)
*
Load application_bottom.php
* * * @package general * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0 * @version $Id: index.php 2942


and http://localhost/~kurtrr/zencart/zc_install has for the first few lines:
0) { for ($i=1;$i<$argc;$i++) { $it = preg_split("/=/",$argv[$i]); $_GET[$it[0]] = $it[1]; // parse_str($argv[$i],$tmp); // $_REQUEST = array_merge($_REQUEST, $tmp); } } if (!isset($_GET) && isset($_SERVER["argc"]) && $_SERVER["argc"] > 1) { for($i=1;$i<$_SERVER["argc"];$i++) { list($key, $val) = explode('=', $_SERVER["argv"][$i]); $_GET[$key] = $_REQUEST[$key] = $val; } } } // init vars: $zc_first_field = ''; // begin processing page-specific actions if (!isset($_GET['main_page']) || !z

The install went fine on my laptop which is also U13.04.
thanks, kurtRR

Create a file named php-info.php with only this content:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then drop that file into /var/www and load http://localhost/php-info.php

See if the output shows any errors.

Also check the Apache2 error log located in /var/log/apache2 for any errors.

Thanks for the quick response. I already did php-info. I checked it again and don't recognize any errors. Is there anyting that you want me to post?
The apache2 error.log had a few errors for today when I tried zen cart again. It's errors were for being unable to find the /favicon.ico.
The access.log seems to be OK too.

I suggest you either wipe out this install and start fresh with a newly downloaded ZC 1.5.1 file set or go the tedious way in comparing your current install with a stock ZC file set.

You may also want to try and do a new installation in /var/www instead of you home directory.

Got this resolved.

Didn't have to reload had to change apache2's php5 configuration

in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf the last several line are:
# Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default
#
# To re-enable PHP in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# <Directory /home/*/public_html>
# php_admin_value engine Off
# </Directory>
#</IfModule>
As you see I commented them the reloaded the apache2 configuration:
service apache2 reload

Now it works as it should.

Still probably a good idea to move to the www. Will just keep messin' with you.
