Scripts downloading instead of executing

[cblanzy]

I'm running apache 2.0.39 and php 4.2.2 when i link to a php script it attempts to download instead of executing. I've double check my httpd.conf and my AddType directive. I've also double checked my php.ini file. I need expert help. heh if you need anymore info on my setup don't hesitate to ask.

thanks in advance

Sounds to me like Apache doesn't know that PHP scripts should be executed.

Are you running PHP as an Apache module or as a separate executable? ______________________________________________________________________

As a seprate executable, it was installed from the 4.2.2 source. I belive that the binary's may have been moved. Unfortunately i'm not the only one who administers this server.

Try installing apache 1.3.26 as it is the most stable version availible. Follow these simple instructions:

./configure --prefix=/your/home/directory
make
make install

/your/home/directory/bin/apachectl start

and there you go. Apache 1.3.26 is a fast setup, and quite simple. Also, check to make sure nobody else is running apache on the same machine, and nothing is being run on port 80. Then make sure you have privelages to run apache...
