browser shows php code

raport

dear friends,

i've just installed apache2, php-5.0.5 and mysql 4.1.14.0 from rpm source in my laptop following
the instructions in the php website.

i started with the tutorial on php using the hello.php script. i placed the text file in the /usr/local/apache2/htdocs folder or the document root.

when i typed the url http://localhost/hello.php the the browser shows the php code

the tutorial explained that there the server is not enabled but i reviewed the set up of apache2 and i did just what the instructions are. ./configure --enable-so, make & make install.

i also browse the httpd.conf per instructions in the installation procedure what whas asked to edit was all there. but the problem persists.

thank you for any help in this matter.

Put this at the bottom of your httpd.conf

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php4 .php5 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
