I'm having the same problem. I'm also fairly sure it means that PHP isn't enabled in apache2/conf/httpd.conf.
But I've followed the instructions at http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php We are running Apache 2.0.43 with mod_perl-2. The URL above recommends using PHP 4.3.0-dev with the latest version of Apache 2. I've opted for the sapi version of PHP (php4apache2.dll). Apache's /server-info page shows Current Configuration: <......> LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll <......> In my httpd.conf file I've entered the following: # PHP LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps When I run PHP from the command line to load my hello.php file, it gets processed correctly and the output is correct. I'm not sure where else to look or how to troubleshoot any further. The apache2/logs don't indicate there is any problem. Bob Kramer I get the same problem as you - when I go to my hello.php page, IE prompts me whether I want to Open or Save the file to disk...
