Hi folks,

I am having a problem with my Apache2/PHP5 installation on a relatively new Ubuntu Dapper installation. I regularly perform a dist-upgrade and I believe it was after one of these that my problems began.

I have been testing out SugarCRM as well as using phpmyadmin to manage MySQL, and these apps have been working just fine. Suddenly, the web server has started treating PHP scripts as files to download rather than scripts to execute. The browser says "You have chosen to open (...) which is a: application/x-httpd-php. What should Firefox do with this file?" There is empty space in place of the (...), not a file name.

I have been through the Apache config file and added a ScriptAlias and Action directive to try to solve this, but nothing I do seems to have any effect. In fact, I can't seem to change the name of the MIME type in the error message-- if I change the line in apache2.conf to read "AddType application/x-httpd-phpBLAH .php" then the message that Firefox pops up still includes "application/x-httpd-php".

To add to the confusion, if I type the full path to an actual PHP script into the address bar, I get a slightly different message: "You have chosen to open index.php which is a: PHP file"

Even stranger, I still get the "What should Firefox do with this file?" message after I have stopped Apache.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Matt
