Hi

I have setup joomla on my computer but when I type in browser http://localhost/joomla i get dialogue box opening and saying

you have chosen to open

which is a phtml

What should firefox do with it
open
save


What could be wrong.. am sure my joomla setup is right.

Please help

Thanx

Have you set Apache (or whatever server you're using) to serve PHP pages? It sounds to me like the page isn't being processed properly by the server.

Yes i installed apache2 and sure its setup properly.

I'm still guessing that something is amiss in Apache. Does your DirectoryIndex include index.php? I'm also wondering if you don't need to add an AddType declaration to handle the .phtml extension. Something like:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

I'm not sure how widespread use of .phtml extensions are, so it could be that Apache doesn't know to process it as a PHP page. I know that out of the box, my install doesn't.

I added AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml into httpd.conf but still have a problem

Below are my apache/joomla dirs.

root@ym-laptop:/var/www# ls
index.html joomla Joomla_1.5.17-Stable-Full_Package(2).zip
root@ym-laptop:/var/www#
root@ym-laptop:/var/www# cd joomla/
root@ym-laptop:/var/www/joomla# ls
administrator CREDITS.php install logs tmp
cache htaccess.txt INSTALL.php media xmlrpc
CHANGELOG.php images language modules
components includes libraries plugins
configuration.php-dist index2.php LICENSE.php robots.txt
COPYRIGHT.php index.php LICENSES.php templates
root@ym-laptop:/var/www/joomla#

Did you restart Apache after doing that? Also, is the behavior your seeing the same as before?

What happens if your try to access http://localhost/joomla/index.php? Finally, have you added any modules to Joomla? If you have, it might be a good idea to remove them and make sure that the base Joomla is working properly.

look in your apache2.conf or httpd.conf file (whichever you have) and uncomment these lines:

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

And add .phtml... so it should look like this:

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

then restart apache and clear firefox cache

Hello

THanx.. it works for me, I added the lines in apache2.conf and then cleared my browser cache then it was all fine.

THanks
