PHP pages not interpreted but downloaded

[OyoKooN]

Hello,

I followed the howto to set up Apache2 with fastcgid and PHP. (http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set...buntu-10.04-p2)

I did all the steps but when I go to my website, the browser wants to download the page.

Do you know where is the problem?

Thank you.

Can you post your vhost configuration?
Are there any errors in Apache's error log?

My website is http://syrinxoon.net.
Something weird, I have a subdomain http://fever.syrinxoon.net which works perfectly.

I don't understand.

Thank you for your help =)

I am a newbie in this but... I have a lot of trouble like you have... I found (I don't know if I am correct or not) that if you try to use a PHP script made for PHP_MOD using FastCGI, it will not recognize the script... because a lot of variables in the .php are set for an specified PHP MOD (for example, in roundcube you will find in a .htaccess the block IfModule mod_php5...

Maybe you can add a handler in a .htaccess of your program, forcing the PHP mod that you want to always run "AddHandler whatever .php"

I hope this help you

Regards

edit: it looks like you have a permission problem, so... the application can't read the .htaccess (which has his own directives) and cgi can't process it, so it is offered you to download as a not recognized file.

Thank you, which chmod must I apply to my .htaccess files?

[erosbk]

I can't remember right now. You can take note of the actual permission and chmod 444 .htaccess and see what happen.

Maybe you have a problem of ownership too, if that does'nt work you could try chown theuser:thegroup .htaccess
