How to enable PHP on LAMPP?

rated 0 times [ -1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 352 / 1 Year ago, mon, may 8, 2023, 2:42:56

I installed LAMPP a couple of weeks ago. Everything works fine when it comes to html files, but when I try to open a php file, the browser asks me where to download it. :/

I tried with my php files, and I also made a test.php which calls phpinfo() with no results. localhost/xampp and localhost/ also ask me for download location.

I added the following line to httpd.conf:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5

But still no results. What could be wrong?

LAMPP will not work perfectly on Ubuntu.

You should try

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 apache2-php

and then you have a PHP enabled server!
