Calling PHP, downloads it

onqun

Hi,
PHP 5.4.24 (cli) (built: Jan 19 2014 21:32:15)
Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies.
I uncommented LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
I guess i downloaded somehow. I still have cpgz file that I try to drag into terminal and getting the error access denied but version should be good.
I copied my files into webserver. I can access them ! But whenever, I try to run php it tries to download the php file it does not open it.

You basically have an installation/configuration problem. How exactly did you install Apache and PHP? Did you configure Apache to serve PHP files with the appropriate mimetype?

I found a website, that gives directly link to terminal I used that. I activated the server via terminal. I uncommented. I still have cpgz file i downloaded from the php's website. I do not know anything else.

I do not know how to install that cpgz file.

You have the CLI interface to php and it obviously works. You uncommented the appropriate lines in the httpd.conf file, apparently ... did you test your Apache configuration?

[me@host]$ apachectl configtest

Assuming that works, try restarting Apache:

[me@host]$ apachectl graceful

If you still have problems after doing this, post back here.

thank you for your reply, when I paste that command, my computer says command not found. 🙁

The point is that you need to restart the web server. How you do so can be specific to your OS or server installation details.
