Prevent PHP parsing in a particular folder

Question

I am trying to prevent a particular folder to parse PHP files. I have used the following code in .htaccess

php_flag engine off

It is giving me 'Internal Server Error'

Then I tried this:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
   php_flag engine off
</IfModule>

But, the second one doesn't seems working. How can i prevent the particular folder other than this?

To prevent it to not parse, you are saying that you want it to parse, so just leave it as it is and it will parse as normal. — Captain Payalytic, Aug 29 '13 at 15:47

Both are exactly the same. <IfModule> got nothing with PHP. Please check Apache docs. And you got 500 from your httpd, because you got AllowOverride None set in httpd's config, so all php_flag will cause this error. You need to enable it, by setting it to (at least) AllowOverrides Options, and restarting your httpd.

If you're using mod_php, you could put (either in a .htaccess in /USERS or in your httpd.conf for the USERS directory)

RemoveHandler .php

or

RemoveType .php

(depending on whether PHP is enabled using AddHandler or AddType)
