[Bug 1243850] [NEW] php5 broken after Saucy 13.10 upgrade

[David Favor]

Public bug reported:

Unsure if package should be apache2 or php5. Setting to apache2 for now.

At first this appeared to be some sort of apache-2.4.6 configuration problem
and the deeper down the Rabbit Hole I go... the more I think this may be some
sort of bug.

-------

After upgrading from 13.04 to 13.10 + adding "Require all granted" where appropriate,
all php files are returned as text rather than executing.

No info in error.log (with LogLevel debug) only access.log shows the
file returned.

It appears the relationship between .php files + x-httpd-php handler is
somehow broken.

I've tried debugging via strace + apache2 -X with no joy.

Questions are...

1) What's the best way to debug this situation?

2) If this is a known problem, what's the fix?

The file contains...

<? phpinfo() ?>;
