PHP not running, only downloading php file

[DiMoNd]

Hi guys!


I have recently installed ubuntu server 12.10 following the HowtoForge guide with ispconfig 3. everything seems to be ok except the php..

Apache2 is running ok and html fine. But when I try to visit a *.php page it does not show the pages but downloads the files instead.

I have been trying to fix this issue by following some solutions here and on other sites but nothing happens..

Any help appreciated!


Thanks in advance!

Try to run following command:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5

Perhaps try "a2enmod php5"

Hey guys!

Thanks for replying..

ressel, I tried the command you wrote but it didn't fix the problem, so I followed the guide to install Debian Sqeeze with ispconfig 3 and everything seems to work fine.
