Newbie problem

[slindbla]

I am trying desperately to install Ubuntu to run a PHP-application (Magento)
I have created an Ubuntu desktop 9.04 CD, and installation runs fine.
Then I install the Apache2, MySQL and PHP5 packages using the package manager.

I copy a PHP-file to a directory in my home-folder and sets all permissions to rwx

But when I try to open the PHP-file with Firefox it only asks if I want to open the file in an application or if I want to save it.

When I try "sudo a2enmod php5" in Terminal it says "Module PHP5 already enabled"

I have reinstalled my server a million times now, and I am getting pretty desperate...

HELP, please !!!

Try putting your php files in /var/www and then run http://localhost to execute it.

I have the same problem even when I put my files in var/www, and have changed the perms. The way I get around it is by not having an index file in the directory where I store my php files. I link to the various subdirectories with html starting at localhost, and when I use Firefox to navigate to my php directory, it can't find an index.html and so it just shows a listing of all the files in that subdirectory. Then I can just click on whichever php file I need to use and it opens properly in Firefox.

Im sure there's a way of doing it properly via nautilus or whatever, I just haven't had time lately to sort it out. Maybe it's some kind of Apache parsing problem, not sure, I'm not very experienced with server-side tech yet!

Anyway, how I'm doing it in the short term. During the holidays I'll look into it deeper and try to fix it.

THANKS !!!

Moving it to /var/www worked !!!
