Re: [LUG] dumb question about apace + php

 

Ahh, yeah, I'm on shared reseller hosting atm. I'm hoping to try out managed
hosting some time in the next few months for a project I've got in the
works, should decrease my hosting prices also. Probably going to be ubuntu. 

Still, gotta get my Linux box wired up so I can get some real practice with
apache security, updating it and keeping some other programs running
alongside it.

Are there any handy security newsletters you know of so I can get signed up?

Kind regards as always.

Yes.

Generally you should do things via the Apache config not .htaccess, if
you can (i.e. if it isn't just a shared hosting account).

But rather than rename the URL on the fly, you'd just tell Apache to use
the PHP interpreter for handling the ".html" files.

i.e. Add the extension to the bits that says...

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

Of course doing this for all html files, on all sites, when only one
page has PHP would be inefficent. One could also just invoke PHP for
this one file. Renaming the page ".php" is probably simplest ;)
