Problems with Apache2

Hi!

I have some strange problems with apache2 after doing an emerge -u.
When I try to browse to one of my websites (I only have virtualhosts ) a box opens and asks me what I want to do with this file: application/x-httpd-php....save it or open it with an associated program.
In the httpd.conf I have the entries:
DirectoryIndex index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so

and in each vhost-entry I also have: DirectoryIndex index.php (just to make sure...

)

He only opens this box when I use the normal url like http://www.website.com. But if I use http://www.website.com/index.php it works without any problems.

Does anyone of you know whats wrong with my config?

Thanks
Christian.

Hey MaxMara,

I have been having the same problems some time ago. In my case it turned out to be a PHP4 vs. PHP5 problem. I take it you have PHP4 installed, can you check if you have a line that says something like

Thanks for your answer Crimson Rider,

but I have the same line in my /etc/conf.d/apache2 :cry:

If you have that line, then you shouldn't need any extra lines in your virtual hosts directives.
You could try removing them and see if it works with that minimal config.

Altough the fact that you say that www.url.com/index.php works but www.url.com doesn't is weird to say the least.

The strangest thing I just found out is:
people who visit my website from outside (not from our LAN) don't have this problem. This happens only if someone in our LAN wants to open our website.
Hope this makes it easier to solve my problem...

Thanks again.

Does your LAN run a proxy perhaps?
Does your Apache virt. host file depend on IP or DNS ?
Is the DNS your LAN get's any different then those outside.

You could change the virt. host entry to be your default entry, then look up the site with just the ip. Just to test.
