index file being served as a download [message #937] Sun, 11 May 2008 09:17 Go to next message

I'm having some troubles on WAMP. This is the .htaccess file I am using:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .xyz

DirectoryIndex index.xyz

<Files constants>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Options -Indexes

 <Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>


.xyz is the file extension I am using for all my php files. When I access a directory including the file name, for example:

www.site.com/folder/index.xyz

There is no problem and the page serves up fine. But when I access the directory without the filename, for example:

www.site.com/folder/

The server forces a download of index.xyz, although the name of the page doesn't appear in the download window. I downloaded it one time to check that it was in fact the index.xyz. It wont serve up the page as a php file.

I have also checked that there were no .htaccess files in sub directories, or in the parent directory, although I am not that great with apache, so I could have missed something.

Can anybody help me out with this problem?

Whatever the problem, it seems to have resolved itself.
