Apache2 PHP question
 

When I try to go to a .php extension file on my website it asks me to download it, is PHP just not installed or is it something in the config? I dont really know much about this stuff so please help, im running Redhat 9 btw

Its most probably something in your configuration.

The best source of info on setting up a php server is here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/books/phpmysql1/signoff.php

If you enter your email address they will email the first few chapters of the book. They go into quite some detail about setting up a php and mysql.
