Apache issue with "AddType" line.

I've recently installed the LAMP platform on my Fedora machine (Linux apache mysql php) and I am having a weird issue when I type "localhost" in my browser. When I do this, I receive the download pop up that says

"You have chosen to open

which is a application/x-httpd-php
from http://localhost

I can only assume it is refering to the "AddType" line that is in my httpd.conf file that instructs the server to process php files as a php script

Code:

<IfModule mime_module>

    #

    # TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from

    # filename extension to MIME-type.

    #

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html



    TypesConfig conf/mime.types



    #

    # AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration

    # file specified in TypesConfig for specific file types.

When I enter my ip address 10.3.0.99, I receive the typical "IT works page". When I enter the phpinfo page "http://localhost/phpinfo.php" I receive the correct PHP version information.

Within the httpd.conf file, I have ServerName designated as the 10.3.0.99 private address since this is a machine on a private network at work.

When I enter the loop back address 127.0.0.1, I receive the proper "it works" page.

My /etc/hosts file looks correct:

Code:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs

# that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1              FireCracker localhost.localdomain localhost

::1            localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Not sure why the private ip address and not the Localhost name is returning the "IT works" index.html.

Anybody have any idea where I should look?

How about changing

Code:

::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

Code:

::1 development localhost.localdomain localhost

?

My /etc/hosts looks like this:

Code:

127.0.0.1              development localhost.localdomain localhost

::1            development localhost.localdomain localhost

and the rest of my setup is pretty much exactly like yours.

I. e. I have the word "development" (the name of my system) before "localhost.localdomain".

However, if I just go to

Code:

http://localhost

in a browser on my system, I get to the "it works" page, with the URL reading

Code:

http://localhost/

...

Hope this helps

I rebooted the machine, without making any changes, and the issue corrected itself.

Not sure what the problem was.
