Apache Friends Support Forum

Want to use php in apache 2.0.54. All it does (tried a lot) is downloading the .php-file instead of running this file

I am running manrake 10.0

I noticed that the PATH does not include /opt/lampp to find php

Using xampp 1.4.16

Thanks

You are using a URI like http://localhost/foo.php in a webbrowser?

No I use it remote like http://www.hostname.tld

Found solution.

I copied /opt/xampp/bin/php to /usr/bin and than I got the welcomescreen.
Must havebeen something with an old (default) installation.

The copy is not the best solution I like to make in these situations, any better solutions will be welcome.

You are really using a XAMPP (Apache from XAMPP)?

Because Apache from XAMPP use the PHP module and not the cgi.
--> you can delete this file and PHP must work in Apache.
