PHP Error

[phusion]

Hi, I installed php, and now when I look at a php file my browser tries to download the file. By the way I'm working in a Linux environment, not using the Win32 ports.

Well... the reason your browser is trying to download the files is cause apache isnt pasing it correctly. Under you /etc/apache/httpd.conf (or something like that), make sure the following is done:

LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so

or the like is uncommented in the file and:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

is added to the file. This tells apache to parse any file with the php extension. You could even do this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .maniac

and anything ending in .maniac would be PHP parsed. 🙂.

Hope that Helps!
