Crowd Apache integration causes php files to download rather than execute as a script.

[Ravi Ravi]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate a website validation using Apache with Crowd. Below is the code that I use to add the Crowd related lines into my apache config file.

<VirtualHost 11.22.33.44:80>
ServerName my.website.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@website.com
CustomLog /path/to/logs/access_log combined
ErrorLog /path/to/logs/error_log
DocumentRoot /home/user/www
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

<Directory "/home/user/www">
# AuthName "Atlassian Crowd"
# AuthType Basic
# AuthBasicProvider crowd
# CrowdAppName appname
# CrowdAppPassword appapassword
# CrowdURL http://localhost:8095
# Require valid-user

Options Includes ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The commented lines (beginning with #) are the ones that I added to integrate Crowd. Please note that the website works normally when these lines are commented out (of course no authentication is done with Crowd). When I uncomment the lines and restart Apache, it seems like the integration worked as Apache prompts me for a login/password using the 'Atlassian Crowd" realm as specified in the above config file. But after I login successfully, I'm being asked by Apache to download the index.php rather than execute it as a script. Do I have to set additional options other than what I have done above? Would appreciate any pointers on this.

Thanks,

Ravi

ServerAdmin admin_mail@domain.com

<Directory /var/www>

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride All

Order allow,deny

allow from all

AuthName "Atlassian Crowd"

AuthType Basic

AuthBasicProvider crowd

CrowdAppName appname

CrowdAppPassword appapassword

CrowdURL http://domain.com/crowd/

CrowdAcceptSSO On

CrowdCreateSSO On

CrowdBasicAuthEncoding UTF-8

CrowdTimeout 5

#CrowdCacheMaxAge 60

#CrowdCacheMaxEntries 500

Require valid-user

</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

# alert, emerg.

LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

This is embarassing. I think I solved by removing the

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

line. Apparently that has something to with mod_authnz_crowd or something. Anyways, if there is anything I'm still missing, I'd appreciate a response.

thanks,

Ravi
