Issue while deploying PHP application to Apache server Httpd

Question

I have an application primarily written in PHP and using jQuery. I have a fresh CentOS VM where I copied application name RCCA under system-test/eabu-tools directory and created a link RCCA inside /var/www/html directory.

Contents of /var/www/html shown below.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 Aug  6 12:04 RCCA -> system-test/eabu-tools/RCCA

Application Name is RCCA which have soft link called RCCA inside /var/www/html directory as shown above.

When I am accessing the application using url http://hostname/RCCA/rcca.php. All I am getting is a blank page and when I look at the source of the page I get the following output but nothing further, or includes are not working.

<body>
    <div id="header">
      <? include "header.php"?>
      <?php include "navbar.php" ?>
    </div>
    <div id="context_container">
        <div id="context_content">
            <div id="navi"></div>
            <div id="tabs-left">
                <? include("tabsTemplate.php");?>
                <div id="tabs-1" name="all-stats"> 
                    <div id="tabs-content"> 
                      <? include("all_rcca_sections.php");?>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div id="tabs-2" name="stats1">
                    <div id="tabs-content"> 
                      <? include("rcca_sections1.php");?>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div id="tabs-4">
                    <div id="tabs-content" name="stats2"> 
                      <? include("rcca_sections2.php");?>
                    </div>
                </div> ... so on.

Also, same directory structure and application is working fine on another server. Any idea what I am missing as first PHP deployment on fresh VM?

Looks like PHP is not running on the server, if you see php tags in browser. Also short open tags <? won't work on newer PHP versions. — Alex2php

@Alex2php, do i need to start any particular module to run php or any idea for backward compatibility? — Ammad

Check if PHP is running on the server with php -v, if not you need to install it like sudo yum install php. Here is a complete guide to install a LAMP Stack with CentOS: digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/… — Alex2php

If php code shows up in browser, PHP is not running as a (apache module) on the server. This is how you can install PHP on CentOS:

sudo yum install php

Also you should replace the short open tags, as they are disabled by default in newer PHP versions.

Try to use <?php include ("file.php")?> in all includes.

What is the content in the file included? html tags and texts? Try to add <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ?> at first line and check for results
