A client ran into an interesting problem to get .html files parsed as .php. It was not enough to add a .htaccess directive for php-script because then the php.ini file was used out of the /etc directory instead of the domain’s custom php.ini file. He had to do the following.
I was researching the problem and finally figured out the answer. Just in case you ever get asked again, I added the following to my .htaccess file and now works with the right php.ini file.
AddHandler php-script .html
SetHandler fcgid-script
FCGIWrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper/cgi_wrapper .html
Options +ExecCGI
Originally I only had the “AddHandler php-script .html” in the .htaccess file which made it work, but did not pull in the right php.ini file.
Thanks Robert!
