I have perfectly configured php, mysql and apache on linux. Can access index.php also when I type linuxhost/index.php. However, when I type //linuxhost/index.html i keep on getting a popup with 2 options : 1) Open using an application 2) Save this file to disk. I want to get rid of this popup window. Index.html is mentioned in httpd.conf, if this information helps you by any chance. Any help and suggestion will be highly appreciated?? Really urgent guys!!! Thx.

You need to get the URL straight.
linuxhost/index.php is incomplete, but may fall back to http://linuxhost/index.php by default (in your browser).

//linuxhost/index.php, as the box indicates, falls back to something like file://linuxhost/index.php. But this is most likely browser behaviour, not server behaviour. So I doubt if you can configure it in httpd.conf.

So the problem is that you need to use the right URL to get the stuff you want. The protocol information (http://, file://, etc) is there for a purpose. I doubt if you can avoid it from the server's side.

Not necessarily, the issues are the dead giveaway for me anyway.

this seems like a (mime type) configururation problem in your webbrowser.
try accessing the website with another one. if that helps, you have to set text/html mime type or *.htm* files to open in your browser instead of showing the download dialog.

Hi timmeke, am sorry. The way I executed it was not the way i mentioned it(//linuxhost/index.html). It was with http only. Its just that the forum didnt allow me to write the complete url since it was my first post. So in a hurry removed it. I didnt assume it will be misleading. Anyways, as far as the problem is concerned its still there. Mr. doc.nice, I tried it on a windows browser on lan. But still the same. You mentioned text/html mime type?? How and where do i set it?? I Hope that helps my cause. Thanks.
