download dialog box when executing .PHP script

iridium24

i just installed PHP4 and APACHE webserver on my windows 98. i tried running my first html code (w/ PHP file link), and i got the download dialog box. i configured APACHE w/ PHP. i wrote this on my APACHE httpd.conf:

LoadModule php4_module c:/php/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and then i ran the APACHE and it said:

[warn] module mod_php4.c is already added, skipping
[warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe
APACHE/1.3.28 (win32) PHP/4.3.3-dev running...

i downloaded the php4apache.dll file coz i cant see the c:\php\sapi\php4apache.dll installed.

im just a newbie here, so please someone help me here...
i need this badly... PLEASE...

httpd.conf looks pretty good. I'm not looking at one right now to know what else might be needed.

However, IF you are embedding PHP code in a .html file, you'd need to tell Apache to parse the .html pages also. I'm not clear from the paragraph above exactly what page your browser attempted to dload....

also, some folks, do the File->Browse in the browser to get to the .php page, you can't do that, you need to do something like http://localhost/phppageyouwant.php

this may not be your problem, but a lot of times people just don't know that
