localhost doesn't execute php files after update to Maverick/Yosemite OS

Question

So I've upgraded to Mavericks (or maybe Yosemite) yesterday but now I only get a view of my directory when I visit localhost but the included index.php isn't executed anymore.

I have to uncommented the virtualhosts line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

# Virtual hosts
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

so my virtual hosts work but php doesn't get executed.

Found the solution:

Have to uncomment this line in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf as well:

LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Don't forget to restart Apache after changes:

sudo apachectl restart

This did the trick for me:

sudo cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf.pre-update /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Basically restores your previous config. Not sure why this doesnt happen by default - But o well.

UPDATE: Same for the php.ini file:

sudo cp /etc/php.ini-5.2-previous /etc/php.ini

For me it the name for the previous httpd.conf file was different: `sudo cp /etc/apache2/httpd.conf~previous /etc/apache2/httpd.conf` – Nick Nov 20 '13 at 17:36
