Apache，PHP，Centos 6

Question

When I navigate to my website (e.g. www.mydomain.com), the browser opens a pop-up window to download a file.

In my httpdocs folder i have: - index.html - index.php () - I do NOT have .htaccess file

Checking in the browser: - www.mydomain.com/index.html -> it works fine - www.mydomain.com/index.php -> it works WRONG (it downloads the index.php file) - www.mydomain.com -> it works WRONG (it download "descarga" file with index.php contents).

PHP is installed, and when I run the php -v command, it says that I am using PHP 5.3

I have other domains on the same server working fine with php files, so AddHandler or LoadModule should not be the problem as far as PHP is a constant for all my domains.

This is my php.conf and looks like everythin is right:

# PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language which attempts to make it
# easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages.
#
<IfModule prefork.c>
  LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
</IfModule>
<IfModule worker.c>
  LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5-zts.so
</IfModule>

#
# Cause the PHP interpreter to handle files with a .php extension.
#
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php

#
# Add index.php to the list of files that will be served as directory
# indexes.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php

What should I try to navigate to my domain successfully?

Make sure you have the PHP module loaded. Somewhere in your config you should see something like:

LoadModule php5_module    modules/libphp5.so

Then, make you you add a handler to handle files with the php extension:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .php5 .phtml
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
