php tries to save .php3 files instead of executing

[Anon]

i have just finished installing php4 on a redhat 6.2 linux box.

when I try to execute my previously working php3 scripts the browser wants to save the php3 file not execute it.

what else do i have to change in the http.conf file.

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .phps
</IfModule>

is this not correct??

this happens with both ie and netscape.

i tried doing what another fella mentioned about script alias but that did nothing.

help!!

With PHP4, they changed the type to just PHP, without the 3 or 4

Try:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3

I have a similar problem with this but it is for .php file

I am using the command recommended by Vincent but this doesn't seem to work.

Definately strange.

To quote the manual:

17. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:

    For PHP 3: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    For PHP 4: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

    You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one
    we suggest.

Ofcourse you did try all the obious stuff, restart the httpd, made sure this is the config it is using, check if there are no other PHP lines in the config?

thanks to all who replied..

the suggestions helped alot ..

the solution, as suggested, was to change the AddType line from http4-php to http-php
