phpmyadmin : PHP not interpreted.. Is this due to PHP FCGI?

Help! (Home for newbies)

I installed phpmyadmin on centos via yum and can access it via //ip/phpMyAdmin.

However, it shows the source code instead of the interpreted PHP code result.

I tested this again by adding another file, test.php with just the contents “” and sure enough in this case too the source code was displayed.

I have other sites on this server installed for which php works just fine. These are in the /home directory however, and phpmyadmin is installed in /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

What could be the cause of this? It’s certainly nothing to do with short tags since my test.php doesn’t use that…

Note that I use webmin, might this have something to do with it? Webmin/virtualmin use php in fcgi mode by default, which I would like to keep that way…

I have added this in case:

Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch +ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Options=ExecCGI,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,Indexes,MultiViews,Sy$
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
AddHandler fcgid-script .php5
FCGIWrapper /home/ubn/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php
FCGIWrapper /home/ubn/fcgi-bin/php5.fcgi .php5

But now get an internal server error with seemingly no entry in the error_log

Howdy,

Apache and suexec are expecting your PHP code to be located within /home – it won’t execute PHP properly outside of that root.

My suggestion would be to install phpMyAdmin into your Virtual Server using the Install Scripts, which will install it within /home.
