Apache Version:
Server version: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)
Server built: 2017-09-18T15:09:02
Operating System:
Linux Savvas 4.8.0-53-generic #56~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 16 01:18:56 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
PHP version:
PHP 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (cli) ( NTS )
I am trying to get the server to read and preview both HTML and PHP code from a HTML file. I changed a line from etc/apache2/apache2.conf to allow override:
Code:
<Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride [b]All[/b]
   Require all granted
</Directory>

and added a .htaccess file on my root directory:
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

Here is also a sample of the HTML/PHP code:
index.html
Code:
<!DOCTYPE>
<?php include '/var/www/html/Webpage/.htaccess' ;?>
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="test">
      <?php include '/var/www/html/Webpage/php/index.php';?>     
    </div>
    <div class="text">
      <h1>Hello from html</h1>
    </div>...

index.php
Code:
<?php
    echo "<h1>It worked!</h1>";
    print(Date("l F d, Y")); ?>

Now instead of seeing the HTML code I can see only the PHP code. Any help will be much appreciate.

Hello,

have you already restarted/reloaded apache to force a re-read of the config-file(s) (the ones within /etc/apache2/)?

Is php installed on your system and is it working correctly with apache? Or in other words: is a normal php-file working (=displaying HTML or just php-code)?
phpinfo.php:
Code:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>

If you only see php-code you have to work on this topic. For me "a2enmod" was the command to enable php-module in apache...

About line 2 of your index.html: why do you include the .htaccess as php-code?

Your config (OK, path adapted to my environment) and the rest of your code was working here Very Happy

Hey,

I have already restarted/reloaded apache and php is also installed and working correctly with apache. phpinfo.php works as well.
About line 2 on index.html; I read multiple sources of how to fix the problem and one of them, marked as solved included the .htaccess as php code. I tried to find the post again but I had no luck.
How did you enable it with a2enmod?

Hello,

how do you have configured apache to work with the php-files?
Have you configured php as apache-module (then you should have the value "Apache 2.0 Handler" for "Server API" when opening the phpinfo.php) or as (F)CGI (then you should read "FPM/FastCGI" or something simliar for "Server API") or something completely different?
The .htaccess you have posted and that I have tested is working fine for me with the php-apache-module.

To enable the apache-module (pretending it is installed Wink ) you can run "sudo a2enmod" and then enter the matching value from the list that is displayed.
When using PHP as apache-module you should better clean up your config from lines for using PHP in a different way (if there are remains from other ways to get PHP working with apache).

Another idea to check/verify if the "AllowOverride All" is working correctly: put something different into your .htaccess - maybe allow indexes if indexes are normally denied by your apache-config?

About line 2: I cannot imagine a reason why one should include the .htaccess within the php-code as .htaccess is useful for apache and not for php.
