The key things to remember!

[rapdancer]

Hi guys, sorry for the offtopic. I just thought that it would be a good idea to point some some key areas that one has to keep in mind when running a VDS using DirectAdmin because although all services (Apache, PHP, MYSQL, etc) may be shown as running, in practice in my case PHP does not work on the pages (so only HTML is shown).

Can anyone point out the main things that can cause such a challenge, so i can make PHP work. I am confused because it says that all processes are running on the VDS but in fact no PHP script works on the pages. Hm... has anyone had the same problem?

This particular topic does not have anything to do with a VDS assuming VDS stands for virtual dedicated server AKA VPS.

What errors do you get when trying to run php?
Is php run as a module or cgi?
Is the php code embedded in html code or separate .php file?
