james7801 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 hello everyone, my problem is i want to create a simpe homepage with php on, so ive writen the very simple piece of code (hello world) and saved the file as index.php when i use a browser to go to the page its asked me to open the file which is a application/x-httpd-php then i can either download or open with arrgh so what do i need to change to allow me to save index.php so it can be browsed at ive had a go at adding <DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm example.php> to the httpd file like so <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx> ServerName xxx.xx:x ServerAlias xxx.xx.x UseCanonicalName Off ServerAdmin "x" DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/x/httpdocs CustomLog /var/www/vhosts/x/statistics/logs/access_log plesklog ErrorLog /var/www/vhosts/x/statistics/logs/error_log <DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm example.php> the files are uploaded onto a vps from pipex with an up todate php version running linux some of the other domains are using the index.php format but i cant see what the difference is between mine and theres any help would be amazing thanks james Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
