[RESOLVED] Uploading Problems

Sentosa

Hi,

Thus far I've been viewing my php files on the localhost. But when I uploaded my files to a remote host, I couldnt view the files.. The browser does not load the file but instead, it opens in dreamweaver. Pls kindly advise what I should do? Is there any configuration I need to take note of?

Thanks alot!!!

Do you mean, when you navigate to the webpage it open Dreamweaver??? That's unpossible 😃

You are not really looking at a remote host if you are getting that, if you have DW on your local machine it is trying to edit a file that should open through your browser because the browser can not display PHP just HTML. PHP can generate HTML that a browser can read if you didn't give a fully qualified URL or URI to the browser then your own pc is trying to open the file with a program that is associated with that extension (php in this case) so DW tries to open it.

Hi.. Thanks everyone! Hmmm my code works just fine I think... Because it worked OK when i viewed it @ localhost. However, when I uploaded it to a server (Unix, Apache), and when I tried to view from the net, it seems that the browser asks me to download the file and view it in Dreamweaver. I would get the same thing from my localhost if i remove this line from my httpd.conf.

LoadModule php5_module "c:/wamp/php/php5apache2.dll"

The difference is that I'm running Windows XP for my localhost and the server works in Unix... Difficult fix :S I've added the following lines to my httpd.conf file in the apache server:

ScriptAlias /php4/ "path"
AddType applicationx-httpd-php4 .php
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"

Is it appropriate?

I also tried

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And it didnt work :S

Thanks anyone who can help 🙂

Something here does not make sense you have stated that you view some code fine on your localhost (Apparently you are using a WAMP) but when you upload it to a web host it want you to save the file. Please post the offending code and maybe you could be helped.

NOTE I noticed that you are stating that a remote host is where you are having the problem, and in that case nothing you do with the Apache server on your local machine will affect the remote, so why fool with that, it it is working don't break it.

Hi! Really, even a saved php file of
<?php
echo '<p>hello</p>';
?>
cant be seen.. .so I believe it is something which has got to do with the apache server at the remote host.. (I havent been touching my localhost since everything is fine here) The problem occurs after i've uploaded the file, saved it @ the HTML root, then tried to open it from the net (using another computer). The browser then tries to download it instead of displaying the page... Thanks Houdini for replying

Sounds like the host doesn't have PHP properly set up. It doesn't know what to do with a PHP file, so just spits it out at the browser and says "I don't know! You deal with it."

Thanks!!! I've got it working anyway.. PHP 4.2.2 is bugged so the libphp4.so file cant work with Apache 2.0 server.. I've installed a newer version and the browser displays php files now.. thanks everyone who have posted here!!!
