php4 problem (browser prompts to save file)

ALInux · 11-04-2005, 05:56 AM

hi
Ive installed apache1.3 and php4 on my debian box...everything when smooth I can even open the default index.html when I type .... http://localhost/
The problem is that I created a simple php page (or any other php page for that matter) and when I type http://localhost/x.php... instead of displaying thep page the browser prompts me if I want to save the file or to open it.
Ive added the php extension to httpd.conf.. and Ive searched the web any help please :C

Check within your apache config file to make sure that the php module is actually loaded. You should be looking for line something like:

Code:

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

If it's not there, add it in or uncomment the line, then restart apache. Debian seems to leave the modules it installs commented out, meaning you have to manually change it.

you know Ive been workin on this problem for 4 hours and Ive done all things youve told me about
I uninstalled apache in the end installed it again (and left the httpd file that I edited) And it worked just fine.
And my boss thinks Iam stupid ....:S
