webscriptingnoob Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hey there. I've just installed Apache 2.2 and since I've been following a guide to install it I'm pretty sure I've done so correctly. My issue is that after i installed it the guide advised a test to see if it was installed correctly by opening up my web browser and visiting "http://localhost" i followed this step but when the webpage opened it was blank and a download window appeared. I tried to use the open with option with my web browser but still got nothing. Has anyone else come across this issue? If so can you advise a solution? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalformula Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi, What operating system? If Linux, which distribution (Debian, etc)? How did you configure it? What sort of file were you asked to save in the download window? Was it index.html? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cags Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 It sounds like Apache isn't configured properly to serve whatever file type your index file is. It is probably a PHP file and PHP isn't set-up correctly. On the plus side, it sounds like Apache is indeed installed successfully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjoe Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Most likely missing the php handler setting, like the following <FilesMatch "\.php$"> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch> but the exact text may differ depending on your platform.
