PHP + Apache problems

[Anon]

I just installed PHP 4.1.2 and Apache 1.3.23. I did the installation procedure in concert like it is supposed to be done and everything seemed to go well after a few unsuccessfull tries. But things don't seem to be in order yet...

Php-files just don't work. When I'm trying to open any php-file I get either the php-code to the browser window, save/open-option or simply nothing.

When I check apache and its' modules php4 is in the list. I have AddType... lines in httpd.conf and Resourceconfig /dev/null AccessConfig /dev/null.

Anybody got any idea where the problem might be?

did you restart the server?

If you are creating your files on the Windows platform make sure that the files aren't being appended with ".txt". I spent a couple hours trying to get my install to work before I realised that windows by default hides common extensions.
