PHP files are downloaded from server

tablex

Hello,

I've installed PHP-4.3.11 and apache 2.0.54 on RedHat9, the installation went smooth, but when I point my browser to a PHP file, it just downloads it, what could be the cause of this?

Parts added/changed in httpd.conf:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Thnx in advance!

Did you restart the server? If you have check the error logs.

I did restart apache:
my error log looks like this, not anything unusual I think?

Hmm ok, well firstly

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

should automatically be added to the httpd.conf file when php has been installed so you dont need to add it if you did make sure there isnt a previous line (an error should have come up when trying to restart the httpd server) and the other two must be added by yourself and as you said you did you have everything there.

Did you use http://localhost/myfile.php to access the file? (myfile.php being replaced by the php file name you created for testing)

No, I didn't I created a new file index.php, and accessed it from another computer on my lan like:
192.168.2.104/index.php I also tried 127.0.0.1/index.php with exactly the same result.
I get a download prompt telling me:
You have chosen to download a file of type:application/x-httpd-php4 from 192.168.2.104 etc.
