Disable access to PHP in Apache

[Alan Schultz_1]

As the result of a security audit, we have been requested to disable access to PHP. Access to PHP appears to be configurable since swlist lists both hpuxwsAPACHE.PHP and hpuxwsAPACHE.PHP2 on systems PHP is reported as active and as inactive. We don't need to deinstall PHP, we just need to make it inactive.

Thank you

Comment out PHP configuration in /opt/hpws/apache/conf/httpd.conf:

#LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

After that restart apache.
