 |

Hello, my name is Mike... and I'm a n00b.
A few weeks ago I started teaching myself HTML, PHP, and MySQL with IIS running on a fully patched WinXP machine, also running MySQL 5, and PHP 5.2.3. I've gotten as far as building a usable contact manager. Everything was working fine, but I decided to switch to Apache to make my final project portable to a linux box.
Now I have Apache 2.2.4 on the same WinXP box. IIS and PHP are removed now, MySQL is still installed and running.
IE loads the index.html page fine, but Firefox displays only the page source.
My question is, why?
If I left out any important information, I apologize. The header of this file was put in by my wife, who creates fansites as a hobby. I authored the 'Hello World' sections all by myself. 
Here is the index page.
| Code: | <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Hello World</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html> |

Hello Mike!
How did you call your test page? I guess http://127.0.0.1/index.html or http://localhost/index.html
Are you that you save the index.html not as index.html.txt ? Windows does not show known file extension by default. I guess that that is the issue. |

Thanks for the reply. Sorry this is so late, but I was out last week.
The page is hosted on another PC in the office. I access it by http://192.168.1.242/, which is set as a static IP for the host computer. The actual index page is index.php, and I do have it set as the DirectoryIndex in the httpd.conf file.
I have the 'hide known extensions' setting turned off. I never figured out why MS thought that would be a good feature.
Just the same, the problem seems to have gone away on its own today, so until it starts again, I'll assume the gnomes came at night and fixed it.
Thanks again for the advice. |

you said you remove php, how do you accept Apache to process .php files without config?
If you are not going to use php name the file to .htm or .html
if you are going to use php download php and follow the install.txt file from the php package to install it

| I had a similar problem with Firefox a while back, it was intermittent and annoying as all get out. Additionally however it would also show the hex values for the chunks of the page. It seems to have gone away since i made sure the header of the page is printed earlier on in the program. Still it seems quite odd. No one was ever able to give a good reason to why it happened. |

I had that issue with Windows XP SP 1.
It seems it was fixed in a hotfix
I remember reading somewhere.
