install problems...please help!!!

[lividsp]

I have installed apache and php on my machine(linux RH 7.3) . I have the webserver working, but the php does not work right....

After I installed php, I went to the httpd.conf file and I had to manually add the "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" line because it wasn't added during installation. The "LoadModule..."line was written in just fine.

I created the test.php file and tried to view it in my browser and it does the following:

a download window appears saying "you are about to download a file of type application/x-http-php , (no d), would you like to open or save to disk.

What am I missing or doing wrong....thanks ahead for your help!

You need to add the following to httpd.conf, then restart httpd:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
