At any rate, you should read the FAQ at http://www.php.net/FAQ.php, especially item #6.8: 6.8. I have followed all the steps to install the Apache module version on UNIX, and my PHP scripts show up in my browser or I am being asked to save the file. Help! This means that the PHP module is not getting invoked for some reason. Three things to check before asking for further help: Make sure that the httpd binary you are running is the actual new httpd binary you just built. To do this,try running: /path/to/binary/httpd -l If you don't see mod_php3.c listed then you are not running the right binary. Find and install the correct binary. Make sure you have added the correct Mime Type to one of your Apache .conf files. It should be: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 (for PHP 3) or AddType application/x-httpd-php .php (for PHP 4) Also make sure that this AddType line is not hidden away inside a <Virtualhost> or <Directory> block which wouldprevent it from applying to the location of your test script. Finally, the default location of the Apache configuration files changed between Apache 1.2 and Apache 1.3. Youshould check to make sure that the configuration file you are adding the AddType line to is actually being read.You can put an obvious syntax error into your httpd.conf file or some other obvious change that will tell you ifthe file is being read correctly.
