i've been trying to execute php scripts in my computer but it seems that it doesn't load; rather, the browser shows a dialog box and asks what application should i use to open php scripts. can anyone help me in this problem?

Be sure you have mod_php-xxx installed, the xxx means versions that suit your installed apache release (it can be done easily with rpmdrake or from Mdk Cont. Center).

When you're done, please check the file /etc/httpd/conf/comonhttpd.conf (sorry if mistyped ), be sure that your php script file extension parsed by apache.

Then, restart httpd.

Hope this help you.

thanks for the reply. but i already have done that yet no changes happened. i just want to clarify what do you mean by "php script file extension parsed by apache?"

here is the copy of my commonhttpd.conf



thanks

What i mean in "php script file extension" is the extension of your php file, it's ussually .php, .php3, or .phtml.

I'm not sure if your commonhttpd.conf just contain 1 line, for an example go to [url=www.google.com]www.google.com[/url] and search about commonhttpd.conf you will find some examples there.

If you are, too tired to do that, please open your original commonhttpd.conf and serch for this state:



and add your php file extensions after the .phtml or something, just separate them with a space.

Hope this help

it already worked! thanks a lot!
