PHP from z/OS Apache WebServer

I’m new to PHP so apologies if I get the technicals incorrect here.

I am attempting to server html pages containing php (5.4.4) from Apache Web Server 9.0.0.6 (z/os 2.2). I have followed the IBM Redbook (HTTP migrating to Apache - Chapter 12.5) about running php cgi scripts, I’ve hit errors and fixed them but I’m now at the stage where there appear to be no errors but the page displays as the source script rather that the expected php.

Access log extract

21/Nov/2018:17:41:52 +0000¨ “GET /noSecurePhp/hello.php HTTP/1.1” 200 96 447157 +

Error log extract

1066¨ dgw_compat=-1, ce=0
1066¨ should_translate_request returning OK
1066¨ implicit add on output: implicit_add=0
1066¨ xlate input filter not added implicitly because no input configuration available

Screen contents
/products/rocket/bin/php-cgi --php-ini /ihsconfig/ihs/ihsae001/cgi-bin/php.ini $SCRIPT_FILENAME

If I amend the script to say only run php-cgi with no parms I see errors with PHP

error.log extract

1147¨ dgw_compat=-1, ce=0
1147¨ should_translate_request returning OK
1147¨ implicit add on output: implicit_add=0
1147¨ xlate input filter not added implicitly because no input configuration available
‘noSecurePhp.sh’: Bad header: php-cgi Ýargs…

I’m happy that php is installed ok. It’s working in Batch and the script i’m attempting to execute in HTTP works fine in OMVS.

I have seen other posts but not convinced anything is applicable.

The httpd.conf extract is:

Alias /noSecurePhp/ /ihsconfig/ihs/ihsae001/cgi-bin/phpNoSecure/

<Directory /ihsconfig/ihs/ihsae001/cgi-bin/phpNoSecure/>

SetHandler cgi-script

The wrapper script is:

#!/bin/sh

/products/rocket/bin/php-cgi --php-ini /ihsconfig/ihs/ihsae001/cgi-bin/php.ini £SCRIPT_FILENAME

Has anyone seen this before? Is there a better way to configure?

Many thanks in advance.
