PHP does not work

Greetings,

I followed the instructions on the Apache and PHP website to get both
installed.

The following message showed up in the error_log when httpd was started:

===========
[Wed Mar 3 15:12:14 2004] [notice] Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4
configured -- resuming normal operations
===========

So Apache recognizes PHP fine.

But a very simple php file was either displayed as it is or asking for
download when being accessed in browser. PHP docs say checking to see
if PHP is enabled in Apache. How should I check?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Bing

You need to have a section like this somewhere in httpd.conf:

PHPINIDir /etc
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

<Files *.php>
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
LimitRequestBody 524288
</Files>
