In this tutorial let us try to add apache handlers through CPANEL.

To add an Apache handler:

  1. Click on the Apache handlers button on the home page.
  2. Enter the file extension in the Extension(s) field. You need to add the . before the extension name.
  3. Enter the Apache handler in the Handler field.
  4. Click on the Add button.

For example if you want to add a file with extension .tom

All you have to do is type .TOM extension in the Extension(s) field and type application/x-httpd-php in the HANDLER field . Then press Add button.

If you are using php version 5 or version 7 then try adding application/x-httpd-php5 or application/x-httpd-php7. Basically replacing the number after x-httpd-php with the version of your PHP.

Assuming that your index file has index.tom extention, type on the browser

http://www.yoursitename.com/index.tom

and you will get your php scripts inside this file compiled successfully.
