with index.html OK, wihout downlaad

[TrafficProducer]

If I request my own sites without ..../index.html I get asked if I want to download, with the ..../index.html part the site displays without an issue.

What daft thing am I doing wrong

This is in IE6

[Jean-Luc]

What is the address of the site ?

Using IE 6

A Great Portal, Great links to great web sites. ( Functions )

A Great Portal, Great links to great web sites. ( Asks if I want to download )

It's the same fpr my other sites.

The header sent by your web server contains :

Content-Type: application/x-httpd-php

It should be :

Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

or something similar.

No idea why your web server generates this "Content-Type" though.

I've at last tried if in FireFox and IE7 and I get the same problem

I believe it's my .htacess, I want embeded php, which uses

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

Interestingly enough, on Firefox both versions try to download. I think this is happening because the server configuration was set up incorrectly. I think the configuration was modified to parse .html files as .php, but the content type is not getting changed correctly when the PHP parser processes the document.

Try adding the following:

AddHandler x-httpd-php .html

The reason is that there are two different ways Apache can process PHP files, depending on the way PHP is installed on the server, and the way the Apache server was compiled. It has to do with how Apache sends the call to the PHP processor. All you need to know is when AddType fails, use AddHandler.

If this fails, on some servers you need to create a seperate line for each extension. So instead of the line you have above, you would use:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

(I think this is something to do with it?)

.htaccess uses:-
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

.http.conf uses
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I'm shure the site where working OK, until yesterday when I re-formated my harddrive and reinstalled everything from scratch, (I had a nasty virus).

Still rebuilding and testing.

[wige]

The .htaccess directive will add additional extensions to those specified in httpd.conf, and so there should not be a conflict. However, if a handler is not specified, it may not work depending on your installation. Try adding the AddHandler directive I put above. If it still does not work, try adding the directives to the httpd.conf temporarily to test if the problem is with the directive itself, or if the server is ignoring the .htaccess file itself - you may have to re-enable that directive for .htaccess files.

[TrafficProducer]

I've just tried removing AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm fro .htacess and the page/s function.

I'll have to see if embeded php still works without this though?

[TrafficProducer]

Humph!!!

Looks like embeded php fails on a site which has not had and code changed by me, so I guess there is another issue, as well?

[TrafficProducer]

I think I've fixed it, more testing needs to be done

.htaccess now uses
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .html .php .htm

httpd.conf contains nothing to do with php


Thanks

I tried it with my IE7. No problem for both.

Yes, thanks the .htaccess change appears to have fixed the problem now

[TrafficProducer]

Just a quick update, incase anyone else has a simular issue. The final .htaccess is now, (this appears to work). Thanks everyone :-


AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
# AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html
# Use PHP5 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm

Hi, all...resurrecting an old thread, hoping for some help.

I changed my HTACCESS according to the last post but nothing doing. Unknowingly, I created a new post for my issue.

Any suggestions?
