Hi Guys,

Having a problem, i have a G5 iMac in work which has been updated to Leopard from Tiger, i do abit of web development so i decided to install PHP. Having done a bit of research i found that PHP is pre-installed and just needs to be "activated" by un-commenting it out of the httpd.conf file and adding 2 addtypes (Upgrade).

All this worked perfert and i have PHP fully functional on my work machine, the problem is i got a New MacBook a few weeks ago and i decided to do the same on this machine. The MacBook came pre-installed with Leopard so i followed the same steps as i did with my work machine, i opened terminal, used the command:

sudo pico /etc/apache2/https.conf

Un-commented out the php module and saved the file, when i restarted my webserver from sharing, php does not work.

So, i decided to add the addtypes also even though they should not be needed on a full leopard install just to see if it would work but still no joy.

When i launch my webserver, html works fine, but when i try to open my test.php file, i just get the text in the file on the screen, e.g.

<?php

phphinfo();

?>

Instead of getting the full breakdown that phpinfo usually gives thus meaning it is not parsing at all.

Anyone any ideas?? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
