FWIW, this bug has been open for 4 months. It would have been nice if you (or the php maintainers) could have sent a note to debian- apache@l.d.o a bit earlier.
If mod_negotiation requires some mime-type for .php to work, then the obvious solution would be to add a non-magic type, for example "application/x-php". IMHO, in order to have the whole php config in one place, this should be done with AddType in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf. Maybe like this: # mod_negotiation's MultiViews needs php scripts to have a mime # type to make negotiation work. These types are added for this # purpose, but differently from the magic application/x-httpd-* types, # they do not cause php scripts to be executed. That is done by the # SetHandler directives above. AddType application/x-php php phtml php3 AddType application/x-php-source phps -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
