Heya,

I'm currently trying to set-up a web server on an old laptop I have, because it's a little slow and low on RAM I chose Xubuntu.
I' ve installed Apache, the PHP pack and the MySQL packs. The web server runs fine but when I open a *.php file I get a download file pop-up. Now I know this happens when PHP isn't correcly installed / configured.
Where my real problem is is when I search for guides to setting up PHP with Apache I get loads of text referring to Apache2. Now I can't get Apache2 to work, i just dont get a site on my localhost, and i don't know the difference.

Can anyone give me some help because i'm quite confused to what version of Apache to use and what i'm doing wrong.

Frans,
