Craft CMS 3 Installed but not working

Question

I have a remote repository with a Craft install and am trying to pull it to a new environment. I run the composer install and Craft & other packages install seemingly correctly, added the .env file and set up the Apache server to point to the /web folder. When I load up the url I get a visual of the index.php file:

// Set path constants define('CRAFT_BASE_PATH', dirname(DIR)); define('CRAFT_VENDOR_PATH', CRAFT_BASE_PATH.'/vendor');

// Load Composer's autoloader require_once CRAFT_VENDOR_PATH.'/autoload.php';

// Load dotenv? if (class_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv') && file_exists(CRAFT_BASE_PATH.'/.env')) { (new Dotenv\Dotenv(CRAFT_BASE_PATH))->load(); }

// Load and run Craft define('CRAFT_ENVIRONMENT', getenv('ENVIRONMENT') ?: 'production'); $app = require CRAFT_VENDOR_PATH.'/craftcms/cms/bootstrap/web.php'; $app->run();

No urls seem to be working e.g. /admin or /index.php?p=admin/install and I can even put anything as the url and nothing errors, just shows this file still.

Answer 1

Now fixed, turns out that with my server config that copied across php was there and appeared to be installed when viewing the version with the command 'php -v' and enabled with 'a2enmod php7.x' but wasn't in fact installed.

Simply re-installed php (with no need to uninstall anything first) then all worked perfectly after that.

Answer 2

Your answer didn't end up working for me, but I did get it working.

1. Update (or add) "vlucas/phpdotenv": "^5.0" to composer.json
2. Edit the craft (or index) file's contents:

// Load dotenv?
// if (class_exists('Dotenv\Dotenv') && file_exists(CRAFT_BASE_PATH.'/.env')) {
//     Dotenv\Dotenv::create(CRAFT_BASE_PATH)->load();
// }
$dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(__DIR__);
if (file_exists(CRAFT_BASE_PATH.'/.env')) {
  $dotenv->load();
}

I can then retrieve my environment vars with:

$varOne = $_ENV['VAR_ONE'];
$varTwo = $_SERVER['VAR_TWO'];
