Need help - when I click on .php file it downloads instead of opening in web browser


Recommended Posts

Since I installed apache2, php, and phpmyadmin on my linux machine when I click on a .php file it downloads instead of opening in a web browser. It didn't do this prior to the install, so I suspect it's a config error. Can someone help me on this?

Thanks in advance,
Larry

It didn't do what prior to what install? It almost sounds like you're saying you had PHP working before you installed Apache and PHP...

If you're using php-fpm (which you generally should be) then you need to tell Apache that it should run .php files through the service. Check the online documentation for how.
If you're using mod_php then I'm pretty sure you haven't actually installed it.

Beyond that, it depends what operating system you're using.
