250339 - Need documentation on configuring for PHP + Apache

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Other, defect)

Description

[Daniel Wang]

It appears that Apache has problem with PHPs (and I don't know if that's
Apache's fault or PHP's). With default configuration, .php files are sent as
"application/x-httpd-php". <http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews> suggests
using MultiViews, but I don't think hacking file extensions is really a good
solution. The .php script itself should be configured to send the proper type,
but  I don't know PHP programming and how to set Apache not to try to override
the MIME type.

This is what I got today in the mail:

(the page was sent as "text/html", and today it's "application/x-httpd-php")

I've also heard that some adminstrators remove the default "AddType text/html
html" from Apache. We really need a doc telling ITs what they did wrong and how
to fix it.
