Poxyphp not mysql

[AJB2K3]

Im trying to understand this php/mysql crap but for some reason the only php pages that display as web pages are forums.
FF just keeps asking what to do with a .php and konq just displays it as code.
What am I supposed to to lean php?
Is there a simple front end for building a mysql database?

Apparently, you don't have PHP and/or Apache installed and configured correctly, because the proper MIME type isn't getting set. You can verify this:



Open up a terminal and type
telnet your-hostname-or-ip 80
When you're connected, type the following into telnet. Note that if you make any mistakes, you can't correct them; you have to start over from the beginning.
HEAD /problem/url HTTP/1.1
Host: your-host-or-ip
Connection: close

Notice that you hit enter twice at the end.
The Content-type header should match the type that the URL is supposed to return, generally text/html. I'm guessing that you're getting application/octet-stream or something equally generic.

Here's an example telnet session. What I typed is in italic.
~:$ telnet scott-desktop 80
Trying 192.168.1.50...
Connected to scott-desktop.mss.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.scott-desktop.mss
connection: close
