PHP files not opening

[anj109]

Hey guys,

When I try to view a .php file it pops up a box to save or view the file. PHP seems to be installed on my machine but how can I check and if not, install? I'm very new to VPS's and WHM.

Thanks,
Alex

Sounds like the Apache configuration is messed up. Fixing it depends upon whether PHP is being used as a module or cgi binary.

If a module, check for the proper AddType statement in /usr/local/apche/conf/httpd.conf, like this:

   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php                                  
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
   AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
