Fresh install won't run

As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with these settings in app/Config/App.php.

Then, if you replace the content of "public/index.php" as follows:

PHP Code:

<?php
phpinfo(); 


and what will you see when you navigate to http://myserver.local/ ?

a blank screen.
tried it without and with closing ?> php tag...

That was helpful.
I suppose now, that there is a problem with the php engine respectively with the php.ini.
Is there a link here describing how the php.ini has to look like, which modules need to be loaded etc?
A google query didn't give me any usable result.

Appreciate.
Gee

What if you navigate to http://myserver.local/index.php ?
What if you remove "public/.htaccess"?

And did you see Apache error log?

ci-phpunit-test | CodeIgniter Testing Guide | CodeIgniter 3 to 4 Upgrade Helper

In both cases the same result.

The Apache logs don't show anything suspicious.
Mostly 200 and the error log some unrelated messages from the mpm_prefork module, not even warnings....

But like I said above...
It seems now to me more like an php.ini related issue.

What if you change the following for debugging?

Code:

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On

ci-phpunit-test | CodeIgniter Testing Guide | CodeIgniter 3 to 4 Upgrade Helper

hey...
first, thanks for trying to help me.
only few people are consistent with that.

I changed the php.ini like you can see in the following 'code' snippet.
First I inspected /var/log/httpd/error.log which didn't show any error messages related to
php (just a warning and a notice - see above) and then I touched a file in /etc/php/ called
error.log and linked php to it as you can see. Both bring no results in form of any error
messages when I call the index in question.

I rather look stupid than being it....
Since its an interpreter I don't need to recompile or restart any service something, that's correct yes?

Code:

; --- Error handling and logging --------------------------------------------- ;
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On
log_errors = On
ignore_repeated_errors = Off
ignore_repeated_source = Off
report_memleaks = On
error_log = /etc/php/error.log

Do I need to restart apache2 after the changes. He can use the old ini.

Have you tried installing a new copy nearby?

If you change php.ini, you must restart Apache if you are using mod_php.
If you are using php-fpm (with Apache), you must restart php-fpm server.

I did, nothing changed.
First I was worried that I didn't load the php module but it is compiled in today, isn't it?
