Hi,

I just installed apache and php5 on my computer and everything seems to be working fine except that I want my html files to be parsed as php.

All my html files are kept in the directory /var/www, I have kept a file .htaccess in the same directory and added the following line

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .html .htm .php .php5

but the html file is not getting parsed as php. Could someone tell what is the problem. Do i need to write something else in the .htaccess file. Or am I supposed to place the .htaccess file somewhere else.

Looking for your reply.

CW

because you have no rights by default to overwrite those settings. You'll need to have a look at the site configuration and allow overwrite or add the .html as handler in the apache.conf

Yeah that's probably not going to work so well. PHP files have the php extention for a reason. Also the PHP code in a php file executes between the <?php and ?> tags.

the extension has no meaning if you tell apache how to handle the files.
