From: chris on 16 Mar 2010 05:05 I'm having trouble installing the above. It's a small project management server that is installed via a php script in the browser. However, whenever I try to load the install.php script Firefox wants to download the file not run it. Trying a noddy homemade php script (phpinfo()) runs fine. The LAMP is installed and running fine AFAICT, but why won't it run the install script? I'm no php expert and am wondering whether it's a config issue. Anyone have any pointers as to where I may be going wrong? I'm using php5, MySQL 5.1, apache 2.2 on a Mepis 8.5 VM (based debian lenny).

The first thing I'd check is the script file's permisisons. You may need to make it executable. -- Anahata anahata(a)treewind.co.uk ==//== 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk ==//== http://www.myspace.com/maryanahata

Done that. Even with global execute permissions, no joy. The noddy script didn't need it, though.

I don't know "collabtive", but is it's setup script designed to be run from the web server, or as a command-line application? See what it looks like in an editor, and check it's filename. To run under apache, it usually would need to be called something with ..php or .php4 or .php5 as the filename sufffix. It will also need to start with <? or <?php preferably on the very first line... Without the .php suffix, apache won't know it's a PHP program and treat it like a text-file. If the first line is something like: #!/usr/local/bin/php then it's very probably a command-line program... Gordon

Although, I did run it from the commandline via 'php install.php' and it generates HTML output. > See what it looks like in an editor, and check it's filename. > > To run under apache, it usually would need to be called something with > .php or .php4 or .php5 as the filename sufffix.
