I’m trying to setup an Apache/PHP/Postgresql server locally on my machine. I’m using Windows vista business 32bit. I tried to install everything manually (one thing at a time, apache, postgresql and php (all the latest stable releases)) and after I get everything up and running.

Whenever I try to run a script on my machine, I get a ‘What do you want to do with the *.php file?’ dialog. The dialog is the browser’s open/save dialog

I’m just trying to get the output of phpinfo() to make sure everything is up and running…

I already tried to mess around a bit with the Apache conf file, but since I don’t know much about what I’m doing, I reinstalled everything again and the problem is still there. I kinda get the feeling it must have something to do with the PHP thingy isn’t correctly installed.

When i try to get the output of phpinfo as in:

<pre><?php    phpinfo(); ?></pre>

I get the browser’s ‘Open/Save’ dialog for the *.php file.

  1. You should have something like this in your httpd.conf file:

    LoadModule php5_module 'c:/php/php5apache2_2.dll' AddType application/x-httpd-php .php PHPIniDir 'c:/php'

    Make sure that’s in place, and don’t forget to restart apache!

    In Windows, the default location for your conf file is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf
