Newbie installation question

[kempis555]

Howdy,
I'm installing Apache and PHP for the first time on a LINUX server. After following all of the instructions, Apache serves up .HTML files okay from the '/usr/local/apache/htdocs' directory, but a test.php file gives me the following error:

Warning: Failed opening '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

What could be causing that? Permissions? Mapping? ???

Thanks in advance,

-k

Found the problem.
You have to give at least read permissions on any PHP file you create.
