Cannot view .php files

[ed1564]

Whenever I try to view a .php file it tries to download it, but I can view .php3 fiels. I just have an account on the server, not root access. I think there is a way to change this in my .htaccess file, but am not sure. The server is running FreeBSD

Anybody know about this?

Thanks
Eddie

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Although I'm not sure you can do that in an .htaccess file.

I don't know about .htaccess, but I know that httpd.conf will fix it straight away.

But since you're not root, I don't know what to tell you.

[ed1564]

can I create a httpd.conf in my directory?

That's what an .htaccess is.

I am trying to install Gallery for my website, the support site says add this to the .htaccess file in my directory:


<Files *.php>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

but it does nothing.

The admin may have disallowed .htaccess files.

I checked other users directories and some have .htaccess setup.

I am going to post this in a support forum for the program I am using, maybe someone in there will have already experienced this.

Thanks for your help
