Hi,

I'm sure the answer to this is simple but...

Everytime I try and open a .php file or anything else for that matter - for example a .pdf in firefox, the webserver thinks I want to download them - clearly I don't. I want to run them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Coaxus.

Have you tried opening the file in another browser, such as Opera (or Internet Explorer), to see if it's a config issue with Firefox?

Also, have you installed php (http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html)?

I think Firefox doesn't know how to open a pdf inside itself so the file must be downloaded. (people who use Firefox regularly can correct me if I'm wrong).
