How did you set up PHP???
First you tell you installed Apache-modules, second you're writing about 'sent
to PHP' & 'Error 500'.
The second point looks like you could find the error in error-logs of Apache
because it seems .php is threaded as CGI (therefor in every .php-file should
be a first line like
#!/usr/local/bin/php
where ever the PHP-binary is located)
But installing the Apache-modules makes it senseless to proceed .php as CGI
...
Have a look in your Apache-configuration file. Search for 'php'.
Is there a line like:
LoadModule php3_module /etc/httpd/modules/libphp3.so
or
LoadModule php4_module /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so
and
AddModule mod_php3.c
or
AddModule mod_php4.c
???
if so there should also be following lines:
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .php3s
</IfModule>
or
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
If in your Apache-configuration there is a line like
AddHandler cgi-script .php
you should remove it and instead switch to LoadModules-Syntax.
