php and a newbie

[BIS]

Hallo All,

Utter and total newbie here - but need a pointer and the search function is not available at this moment.

I have a mail server, and need to install squirrelmail.

I am using apache2, and php4. After the installation of squirrelmail, when I go to

http://my.server/squirrelmail-1.4.9a/

it does not open the page, instead it simply asks me to either save to disk, or choose a program to open with. The file in question seems to be application/x-httpd-php

Now I am sure I need to enable something, somewhere in apache2.conf -but what?

Could someone point me in the right direction? Or at least tell me the words I need to google?

Many thanks in advance

Sorry, should have mentioned this is on debian (etch)

Anyway, installed from source and all is well.

Thank you.
