How do I configure PHP + Apache on Amazon EC2?

Just for those who get here from Google, try this:

sudo yum install -y php
sudo yum -y install httpd

If you need development versions:

sudo yum install -y php-devel
sudo yum -y install httpd

If you need Apache 2.4 and PHP 5.4:

sudo yum install -y php54
sudo yum -y install httpd24

From: Install Apache, PHP, and MySQL on Amazon Linux Install Apache 2.4, PHP 5.4, and MySQL on Amazon Linux

First try using full tags, so your script would be.

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

instead of <? ?>

If no luck, try:

sudo yum remove php
sudo yum install php

then service httpd restart

Alternatively try using one of the pre-built AMI's. Community AMI's have several LAMP configurations.
