PHP pages on my webserver, keep getting page cannot be displayed!!

[Sharkadder]

Hi, ok heres the deal.

 

I have just started to learn about affifitate(however u spell it) programs and have decided recently to buy some extra domains and link them to various parts of my website.

 

This works, however when i try it with php web pages it will not work!!!.

 

I am using a linux based server with apache 1.3.3 and i am allowed to use php within it.

 

Has anybody else got this working? when i try all i get is page cannot be displayed.

 

I uploaded a .htaccess file to the main root folder but now everytime i go to my domain it asks me to download a file instead of showing my homepage.

 

the php file im trying to link is called index.php, it is linked to various other files in the same directory as it is.

 

so for example www.digital-sales.net will go to this page www.sharkadder.com/kelkoo/index.php.

 

All im getting is page cannot be displayed, do i need to do something or what? apparently its the htaccess files whats stopping the homepage from loading but what default settings do i need for this?

 

As you can gather im totally confused, i persumed i just copy the affitate template, upload the files and then link the domain to the required file, obviously not so because it will not work. Although it works when i link html files from another domain. Im guessing i need to do something special for it to work.

 

any help apprechiated, thanks

 

p.s my homepage is index.html, that index.php isnt my homepage, just a file within another folder on my site
