I’ve been trying to install both Apache and PHP from source so they work

  • 0

I’ve been trying to install both Apache and PHP from source so they work together, as a “to see if I can” project.

However, when I try to load a “localhost” file, firefox just starts downloading the .php page instead of opening it.

I’m pretty sure I’ve added the correct handlers in ./conf/httpd.conf, they are shown below

#configure for php
AddHandler php-script .php

AddType text/html .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

I’ve also tried replacing

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php

with 

AddType application/x-httpd-php5 php

and

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and

AddType application/x-httpd-php php
