Apache2 + PHP Problem

[Swordsman]

Hi all,

I have recently installed a LAMP server on my machine, using the tasksel method. Unfortunately, PHP is not parsing correctly.
It must be parsing, as I am not being asked to download a file, yet all I get is a blank screen, even when the only code is for phpinfo();

The HTML is displaying correctly.

I have changed the DocumentRoot in Apache2 in to my user folder, for my convenience (it is my own testing/development machine and will never actually go online). Do I need to do anything to PHP configurations?

Thanks for any help, this is becoming a frustrating problem.

Re: Apache2 + PHP Problem

Rename the file to something.php not .html; that way the PHP parser will be called rather than the HTML one.

If that doesn't work, add the following to the httpd.conf file
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
