Are you referring to pages that are on your local machine? If so, have you ensured that the server has been started?

The most likely reason for this is that you haven't told Apache that .php files are acceptable.

If you followed a tutorial (there should be one in with the PHP distro you installed), then there will be instructions on setting it up with Apache in order to work properly.

What you need to change depends on the version of Apache and of PHP which you have installed, so I would recommend that you check your PHP files for an installation guide, and if you have any further problems then let us know what versions of Apache and PHP you have and someone may be able to help further.

Of course the problem could be as simple as starting the server like Amadeus said, but I'm assuming .html files work since you said specifically you had problems with .php files, which would imply that you have the Apache server up and running... smile.gif

ok i'm having the same problem. i can't setup php on the damn pc.
i'm running ubuntu and i'm a new user to linux (i love windows)... neways...
the thing is i'v installed php using the synaptic package manager, and apache as well....
now the thing is i can't find the documentation nor help on the net.. (it took me about 15min just to find this topic!!!!)...
ne1 out there who can help this poor soul???? huh.gif

by the way i think i installed php4 and php5...i just marked everything that looked like the stuff that i needed.... can't start the damn server... the thing is i am using gPHPedit to write my PHP into an html doc that i have already written... so at first i couldn't check the syntax of my docs. but after installing all that stuff the syntax checking started working so i know i'm on the right track. GAAAAAAAHHHHH i'm going mad... i can't find a solution....

I had the same problem and found that the owner of the file was root not the user in the directory.

i solved the damn thing smile.gif you are right...the owner of the file is root and the ada thing is that the new apache puts the public_html directory in a different place...
the place i found it at was /var/www
i had to give read+write permissions to my self by using root...then i just run the php files from this folder using the browser... (i.e localhost/*.php)
don't know why it wasn't listed anywhere that the damn public folder was moved !!!!

oh well...case closed... tongue.gif

Maybe this is lame, or something, but why not use server packages (Apache, PHP and MySQL in one) ? This things are good, because you install and everything works.
I prefer WampServer, because it has good config [in my opinion].
If someone want to try it:

The thing is windows has great (i really mean it) support...programs install easily..blah blah blah...
i'm using ubuntu...hence you have to do nearly everything...this is hard when you a newbie (lyk me) but eventually you figure shit out....ubuntu isn't as bad as i tought...it only took me an hour to find a program that plays mp3s.etc smile.gif the site you mentioned is for windows...not linux/unix/wateva systems... smile.gif

You could also just change the owner of the file with "chown", as root. Maybe you did that though.

i'm new to linux so i didn't know that you can change owners with "chown"...
the ada thing is..i want a windows explorer like program which allows me to use root. the thing is when you use krusade (or such) programs i am not using root..i prefer this type of thing than the console...
