Hi,

I just installed a ton of libraries, openssl, Apache 2, and PHP5.

Everything went fine and is running, but I have 2 folders on my site - both have index.php in them, one works fine, and loads the PHP and how the site when I go to sitefolder1/ but the other (sitefolder2/) downloads a file with the html of the site in it. I added the 2 lines to see php extensions, and added the thing to look for index.php when just going to a folder.

I don't understand why it works perfect, but not on the other. Any ideas?

Thanks!

UPDATE: even when i name the second site's index "index.html", it still downloads it.

I also renamed the folder to a different name, then it works normally. But when I make a new folder with the old name, it downloads it again. This is not a weird folder name. It also worked on the previous Apache2/PHP5 installation. I'm clueless!

New update: if I go to a file in the folder, it works, just not when I go to folder/

do you actually need to run apache 2, or is it a case of "because i want to"? what's wrong with using the default installation, which you know works perfectly?

Do keep in mind that while Apache2 is multithreaded, PHP is not threadsafe (they say that this is because of some third-party libraries which PHP uses). That could cause problems.

There was an interesting story on slashdot about this a while back.

Localhost you say? Try going to your ip and then the folder

It works! Thanks timmerk!.

This must be a werid bug. Anyone else that has the latest Apache and PHP, make a folder named "okemos" in your root directory, put index.php (or html for that matter) in it, and go to localhost/okemos/ and see what happens.
