Re: Browser tries to download php file

[Juan Mas <juan.mas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think there is something to this, but could definitely use some
input.  I have /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl as the startup.  This
does point to /usr/local/apache/bin/ and the only httpd.conf I can
locate is in apache/conf.  But, if I do a 'which httpd', it points to
/usr/local/bin.  If I do a httpd -l there, it does list mod_perl, but
not mod_php.  But, that httpd isn't running anywhere that I can see.
I'm not sure who to switch this so that the default is
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd.  Though I don't see how it's an issue
considering if I 'ps', it only shows /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
running.
