On my new Ubuntu system, I’ve managed to get Apache2 up and running for developing my ZendFramework Web Applications…
I’ve got my available-sites
config working correctly because I am able to request localhost
and it servers up the correct index.html
from my specified directory.
Problem : if I request index.php
, firefox attempts to download the file instead of running the script.
Any Ideas why this would happen?
I’ve added the following to httpd.conf
but it hasn’t helped.
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml AddType application/x-httpd-php .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

Answer
If Firefox downloads your PHP files it means that your server doesn’t have PHP or the Apache PHP module installed.
Have you installed the Apache PHP module? If not then install it by typing this into a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
And if yes, do you have your index.php located in /var/www/
?
Make sure to enable PHP with the command
sudo a2enmod php5
