Hi guys,
Newbie here. I just installed xampp 7.4.8 on my Manjaro Linux kernel version 5.4.52-1.
When I try and start xampp it seems to be working. Please see terminal output below:
$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 7.4.8-0...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.
Also, when i type localhost in my Chromium browser I also seem to be ok and I can navigate to myphpadmin.
The problem occurs when I try to run a .php file. I am a complete beginner at web development and I created a file called index.php and aiming to print some text on the screen. Well, instead of executing the file and displaying the text on the screen my browser downloads a copy of the file in my Downloads folder.
Terminal output:
$ chromium index.php
Opening in existing browser session.
