New apache install, php files are downloading rather than displaying

New apache install, php files are downloading rather than displaying, does anyone know whats causing this.

When I compiled php with apxs it automatically added this line:

Code:

LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so

I restarted apache, and also try adding this line:

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php

and then restarting.

Still no luck.

Any ideas?

TIA

Have you looked into you HTTP log, typically located at:

Code:

/var/log/httpd/access_log

If the server gets a request it chokes on, a log entry normally will describe the problem.

Fixed it the correct line was

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php

It didn't need the 5
