Amazon EC2 Webserver not running PHP

I have setup an Amazon EC2 instance for a webserver using the Amazon Linux AMI which I think is based on CentOS.

I cannot seem to get php to run in any of the webserver subdirectories. All I get rendered in the web browser is the php contents.

php runs ok in /var/www/html/ but no sub directories under it.

I have set mod_rewrite (.htaccess) work in subdirectories by editing /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and replacing AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All under <Directory "/var/www/html">

What am I doing wrong?

What else is in your user.conf?
Code:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

The <Directory "/var/www/html"> part of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf looks like below:

Code:
<Directory "/var/www/html">

#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
#   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
    AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

</Directory>

I'm going to assume you've tried my suggestion?

You also need to restart httpd after you make any changes. If you still have problems. I would double check all your config files. Make sure you have the php MIME type and then look for any possible character encoding problems (utf-8).

Most web servers will have multiple conf files that are loaded along side httpd.conf or apache2.conf etc. Quite often there is a folder for user specific config files for each user to define their own rules.
