ApacheFriends XAMPP Version 1.8.3
Windows 7 64-bit
I am able to view http://localhost/xampp/index.php so it appears that PHP is installed, however when I try to open a .php file from c:\xampp\htdocs , Chrome opens the file as plain text and does not parse the PHP.
My XAMPP status reads:
MySQL database ACTIVATED
PHP ACTIVATED
HTTPS (SSL) ACTIVATED
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) DEACTIVATED
Server Side Includes (SSI) ACTIVATED
Is the fact that my common gateway interface is deactivated causing some sort of problem?
Why does the XAMPP index.php page work but any php scripts I put in htdocs do not run in my browser?
