Omega 2+ PHP install problem [RESOLVED]

Caio Reimann

Onioneers,
I'm trying to install php on my omega 2+.

First I ran opkg update and got

Downloading http://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7688/packages/Packages.gz.
Updated list of available packages in /var/opkg-lists/reboot_core.

Then I ran opkg install php5 php5-cgi and got

Unknown package 'php5'.
Unknown package 'php5-cgi'.
Collected errors:

opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package php5.
opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package php5-cgi.

What am i doing wrong?

Exploring /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf i found php7 package only, so i tried

opkg install php7 php7-cgi

And done

Then i followed this topic https://community.onion.io/topic/669/php-functions to install php, but looks like omega 2 isn't interpreting php (when i access the url on omega, browser download the file index.php)

Caio Reimann

Well, I found the problem,

When editing..

vi /etc/config/uhttpd

Use these lines

 list interpreter ".php=/usr/bin/php-cgi"
option index_page 'index.php'

Now it's working

@Caio-Reimann probab you could add index.php, index.html, index.htm so you could use php statments in a html page to?

Caio Reimann

I don't think so Luciano because php interpret the code with file extension ".php", but you can use html code in php pages.

Using your code is a good ideia when you want to uhttpd search for one of these files automatic, when you don't tell the specific file you want, like http://localhost/php/

If you would like to try, for example, save this text in index.php

<html>
	<head>
		<title>This is Hello World using HTML codes inside a php page</title>
		<script>
			alert("Hello World in JS");
		
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<?php echo "<h1>Hello World</h1>" ?>
		<table style="border: 1px solid">
			<tr>
				<td><?php echo "Hello World in a table" ?></td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</body>
</html>

So, you can use HTML, CSS and JS in a PHP page.
