How to configure forwarding of PHP requests in Apache

Apache, as a popular web server software, can support multiple languages, including PHP language. In practical applications, it is often necessary to forward requests to PHP scripts for processing through the Apache server. This article will introduce how to configure forwarding PHP requests in Apache.

1. Installing Apache and PHP

First you need to install the Apache server and PHP interpreter in the system. You can install it through the command line or source code, or you can use the package manager to install it. For specific methods, you can check the official website documents of Apache and PHP.

2. Configuring the Apache module

Apache can support the PHP language through modules, and the mod_php module needs to be loaded. You can configure it by modifying the configuration file httpd.conf or apache2.conf. Find the following code and remove the comments to enable the module.

#LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so

3. Configuring the virtual host

If you need to use PHP in the virtual host, you need to configure the virtual host first. It can be configured by editing the configuration file httpd-vhosts.conf and adding the following code:

<virtualhost>
    ServerName example.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com
    <directory>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        Require all granted
    </directory>
</virtualhost>

where ServerName is the domain name or IP address, DocumentRoot is the website root directory, and Directory is used to specify the access permissions of the website directory.

4. Configuring the PHP interpreter

After the virtual host configuration is completed, you need to configure relevant information for the PHP interpreter. It can be configured by modifying the php.ini configuration file. You can find the location of this file by executing the following command from the command line:

php -i | grep 'Loaded Configuration File'

Edit the php.ini file and add the following code under the [opcache] module:

[opcache]
opcache.enable=1
opcache.enable_cli=1

This enables opcode caching, and allows using PHP in command line mode.

5. Configure .htaccess

If you need to set up URL rewriting and URL forwarding, you can configure the .htaccess file. You can create this file in the website root directory and add the following code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Among them, RewriteEngine is used to enable URL rewriting, RewriteBase is used to set the website root directory, RewriteCond is used to determine whether the requested file exists, and RewriteRule Rules for specifying request forwarding.

In order for Apache to support .htaccess files, you need to add the following code to the configuration file of httpd.conf or apache2.conf:

<directory>
    AllowOverride All
</directory>

Among them, /var/www is the document root directory of Apache .

6. Configure PHP script

Finally, you can write a PHP script in the root directory of the website and name it index.php. As shown below:

<?php echo "Hello World!";
?>

When you visit the website in the browser, you will see the output Hello World!, indicating that PHP and Apache have been correctly configured.

Summary

This article introduces the configuration method for forwarding PHP requests in Apache, including loading the mod_php module, configuring the virtual host, configuring the PHP interpreter, setting up the .htaccess file, and writing PHP scripts. The above steps can help developers quickly build a web server that supports PHP language, providing convenience for development and testing.
