[ZendTo] New install browser downloads file instead of showingZendto page

[Jose M. Sanchez]

Thank you for responding. Here is some additional information.

I am running Debian 12 bookworm.

I have tried purging zendto, apache2 and all php* software and residual directories then re-running the installation script anew, with the same result each time.

I am using all of the defaults the install script gives, pressing return each time.

During the installation of the php modules by the script I see this. 


E: Unable to locate package php8.2-sodium
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'php8.2-sodium'
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package php8.2-json is a virtual package provided by:
  php8.2-phpdbg 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
  php8.2-fpm 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
  php8.2-cli 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
  php8.2-cgi 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
  libphp8.2-embed 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
  libapache2-mod-php8.2 8.2.20-1~deb12u1
You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package 'php8.2-json' has no installation candidate

There are no other errors issued during the installation.

Thank you.

I'd normally expect this to "just work" on a typical apache + php 
installation. The details will depend upon your OS and whether you've 
used the apache/php/etc packages provided by the distribution, or 
installed them from another route.

As an example: I have Zendto on Ubuntu 22.04. I ensure I have 
libapache2-mod-php8.1 installed (which probably installs other 
php-related packages via dependencies), and one config file that package 
provides is /etc/apache2/mods-available/php8.1.conf which includes - 
amongst other things - this block to configure handling of .php files:

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(ar|p|tml)$">
     SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

That then gets symlinked to /etc/apache/mods-enabled upon enabling the 
apache module (I don't recall if this happens automatically on my distro 
upon installing the package, or if one has to "a2enmod php8.1 ; 
apache2ctl restart")

The behaviour you're describing makes me suspect you either don't have 
the right apache module installed, or it isn't enabled, or the config 
fragment to handle .php files isn't enabled or is incorrect, or if 
something else in your apache config is overriding the SetHandler line 
for .php (unlikely but possible)

If you can provide more details about your OS/apache/php setup, someone 
might be able to offer more detail on making sure apache is properly 
configured.
