So, when hit a phtml file on my server and firefox pops a window that sez "You have chosen to open: [blank space here] which is a: application/x-httpd-php4" with a prompt for choosing what to open it with, does that mean I don't have PHP4 installed right and Apache isn't passing the php code off to it? I have a Cobalt Raq4 with the Raq550 OS on it It's a Redhat variant, but the software installation is handled via .pkg files, which are basically redhat .rpm 's wrapped with with even more install/config scripting so even an MCSE can install one. I installed the PHP4 .pkg, but who knows if it actually worked...
