PHP Displaying white screen

I have enable php for my OS X server.

All went well.

I decided to test to see what modules are enabled for php using a file called info.php

When I browse to the php file All I get is a white screen.

Here is what my php info file contains.

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

Open in new window

A white screen for phpinfo usually means that php is not enabled.

Maybe this will help

2. If you want to view a page through Apache, you have to start the server up, then type the localhost address to the page you want to view. The page has to be under the htdocs directory for Apache to parse it. Apache won't recognize it's supposed to parse anything if you use the /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phppage.php URL. For example, the URL for above would be http://localhost/phppage.php.

3. You can find out the extensions Apache identifies PHP files with by looking in your httpd.conf, as you said. If you save that file in that extension and it still doesn't work, check out some of the threads in the Windows Installation forum to find out how to add another PHP extension to httpd.conf.

This is not a Windows install, as indicated in my opening line... ;)

Yeah I posted the link to OS X. Try these:

Position your cursor at the beginning of that line, and remove the hash or pound sign (#). It should now look like this:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

This enables PHP 5 on your computer.

I have been troubleshooting it and would like a link or info that is more current. If you are going to post it. A 12 year old link is a tad bit out dated :)
