.php file says open with
 

I freshly installed ubuntu11.04 and also installed apache2.The I copied files/directories from /var/www of one old server to /var/www/ directory in new server as it is. Restarted apache. But it is not browsable and asking open with. Could anybody please tell me what may be the issue.

Just some things to think about:

Did you install and configure PHP on the server? Is PHP running? Is the contents executable (permissions)? Are all the dependencies for the PHP file(s) met (drivers, database, connetions, other stuff)? Can you pick up any page on the server in HTML?

This thread will be followed up...

Maybe you just installed Apache, but not PHP ?
On Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04 you can do all installation and configuration for Apache/MySQL/PHP with a single command:
(you'll be asked to put a MySQL root password during installation)

You must install php (all packages with apahce mysql) in your server to interprete the .php file.

java socket
