How do I add PHP support to Apache 2 without breaking my current installation?

Question

I run Apache 2 with WSGI (for a Django-app) on a Ubuntu box. I want to use Nagios for server monitoring, and for this purpose it seems I have to add PHP support to Apache.

When I installed Apache 2, I did this:

apt-get install apache2 apache2.2-common apache2-mpm-worker apache2-threaded-dev libapache2-mod-wsgi python-dev

Available modules for apache2 are these:

/etc/apache2/mods-available$ ls

actions.conf      authn_default.load    cache.load           deflate.conf        filter.load

What is the best way for me to add PHP support to Apache 2 without breaking my current installation and configuration?

Answer 1

IS the issue your referring to the Python WSGi.

if so take a look here to see if this helps you, Im not fully update with Python so not sure but hope it can help.

This module allows you to run PHP processes inside of Python, using a WSGI gateway. This way PHP applications can appear like normal Python WSGI applications, and WSGI middleware routing and filters can all be applied in front of them. For instance, WSGI middleware-based authentication or authorization, routing, deployment, or styling filters (like WSGIOverlay).
