Hi all,

I recently have had a .php file uploaded into my root directory. I open the web page on my main computer by typing in my fileserver's address.

My page successfully linked to the .php file, but it just displayed as text. I have installed AppServ and that is all. Is there some config I need to fool with?

Thanks guys,
Curtis

You need to edit your server so that it sends .php files to the php engine.

Depending on your webserver, this can mean different steps -- so post what webserver you are using, or read the official installation guide (http://www.php.net/installation) at php.net.

You may need to take a look at your webserver software documentation & Installing php on that.

Maybe your server don't understand the script is a PHP-script. Are you absolutely sure the script has a .php extension? If so, open httpd.conf and check if .php is a registered extension.

If you can't work that out and all else fails then have a look at the appserv forums. I'm sure someone on there can assist you.

I Just realised that he has in fact already started a thread on the appserv forums. Silly me.

But installing AppServ should automatically setup the PHP module with Apache. Make sure you install AppServ 2.5.1, as I have discovered bugs with AppServ 2.5.2 with MySQL and PHP

thanks!

problem fixed! yay 4 me!

thanks guys,
