php files want to download instead of viewing them

**SlashPrompt** · 05-31-2005

for some reason, when i try to view php files on my linux box, they want to download instead of viewing them.

I configured apache for php as the manual said but for some reason it doesn't want to parse the php.

Sorry for the long code below but this is my http.conf file

Code:

ServerType standalone


ServerRoot "/usr"


PidFile /var/run/httpd.pid


ScoreBoardFile /var/run/httpd.scoreboard

KeepAlive On


MaxKeepAliveRequests 100


KeepAliveTimeout 15

MaxSpareServers 10

Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf

so if anyone could muddle through that and see if there is something I missed I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe there's soething like AddModule mod_php4.c missing in your conf.

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/install...ll.unix.apache or http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php , depending on version of Apache used.

I'm having the same problem, however the AddModule and ClearModuleList directives no longer exist. These directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled in the correct order. The new Apache 2.0 API allows modules to explicitly specify their ordering, eliminating the need for these directives.

So... what do I do now to fix this same issue?

Hello HRT

Please start a new thread of your own because this one is almost 5 years old.

Thanks.
