PHP Error on Live Apache Web Server (Linux)

DO NOT install on live server!
I installed PHP on a working Apache and it shut down our web server 1 hour before a demo.  I definitely learned to NEVER mess with your infrastructure before a demo.  We only got it working 5 minutes before the start of the presentation. 

IF YOU DO INSTALL, Here are Suggestions:

  • PHP may have installed incompletely
  • Delete existing PHP files
  • Look for extra tmp folders & files in apache directories
I unfortunately didn't note everything that we did in our rush to fix before the demo.
