To get Apache to use the PHP CGI for files with the .php extension, you need to tell Apache where to find the php-cgi executable, which is installed to /usr/local/bin/php-cgi by default. You also need to give Apache permission to execute files in that location. Add the following to an appropriate place in your httpd.conf file (default location /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf):
# CUSTOM: Add PHP 5 parsing (via CGI) handler and action ScriptAlias /local-bin /usr/local/bin AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php Action application/x-httpd-php5 /local-bin/php-cgi <directory "/usr/local/bin"> Order allow,deny Allow from all </directory>
