The problem is with Apache. PHP files are parsed through the PHP preprocessor when your browser makes a query from the web server. If you were to try and load the files directly into firefox, you would either get the source code, or firefox would try and download the php files. Thus, you must make sure that you are accessing them through the Apache server, and that the httpd.conf file is setup correctly to forward *.php files to the php preprocessor. Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

I already went through the relevant steps that you have forwarded to me. But, the Firefox still doesn't understand the php file. (It just open the file with a text editor. I forced to open the php file with Firefox, but it just open a new window asking to open with a text editor.) What sort of problem would this be?

Before I install this, I needed to install PHP on my system. I installed PHP using 'sudo apt-get install php5' and installation went with no problem. However, whenever I try to open 'index.php' with Firefox web browser, it cannot recognize the php file such that it tries to open it with a text editor. (Firefox and Mozilla can never open the php file.) </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap="">install libapache2-mod-php5 see also : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#installphpapache">http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#installphpapache</a> -- grtjs, albi gpg-key: lynx -dump <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc">http://scii.nl/~albi/gpg.asc</a> | gpg --import </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
