[SOLVED] Strange problem.

I'm using php on my server and I'm hosting locally. i'm using php 5 and apache 2 to do this. I installed php and apache on my laptop and everything worked fine, I was even able to install a mySQL database too. Now I want a dedicated server, so I tried to move every thing to a desktop. I'm using the exact same configuration but when I open a php file from my server using Mozilla Firefox 2 it asks me if I want to download it or open it. So I clicked open, and it opened my file, but i didn't want to do this for every file so the net php file I open I checked the 'always do this from now on' box and then it just started opening the php file constantly in new tabs. It did stop opening the page until I closed Firefox. What is wrong?

Wow, this is weird. I accessed the desktop server from my laptop and its working fine (except for the mySQl functions i haven't installed). i'm using the exact same browser on both machines.

The only time I've seen it ask if you want to open or download a php file is when the apache server doesn't recognize the php extension.

I guess create a new php file and type this:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

 

After it loads in a new window, lets see what it says.

 

Edit: Nevermind - it's solved

ok nevermind. Sorry, for some reason it doesn't work when i type in 'localhost' into the address bar, but when i type in my ip address it worked fine.
