Web服务器显示php文件的内容而不是解释它

Question

I recently installed apache2 and Mysql on my RaspberryPi, I also setup FTP so I can edit my Files on my PC and upload them directly to the webserver.

If I now connect to my server vis it's IP-Address I can see the index.html, but as soon as I try to open a *.php file it shows the content of said file instead of interpreting it.

Are there any common mistakes that could make this happen?

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

This kind of errors mainly happen 3 reason

1. You may not be installed php
2. if you have installed php, you have not configured with apache
3. Check your php file having opening php tag <?php and closing php tag ?>
