running php/apache on Win98

[imcanook]

After following the instructions of Samdarshi Pali for setting up php/apache, my http://localhost/test.php seems not to open the page i want, however windows attempts to DOWNLOAD it. What is happening here? i figured it would simple go to the path i pointed to in the php.ini and httpd.conf and open it in my browser.

does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

thanks

Open httpd.conf which is in the conf folder of Apache

Add this anywhere

ScriptAlias /php/ "c:/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"

You may need to change the location of c:/php/ to where it is located but that is where it is on default

Save the conf file than restart apache.
