"file Download Security Warning"

When I type "http://localhost/" in Internet Explorer , I get the following message:

"File Download Security Warning. Do you want to save this file?"

The weird thing is that I get the expected page when I type "http://localhost/index.html".

I recently installed PHP by using YaST and added the following lines into the httpd.conf file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .inc .html .thtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

I am such a beginner. Please help me out here?

is it the same thing in Firefox and konqueror ?

You obscured the filename, but I'm guessing it's a .php file.

You see this symptom when php is incorrectly installed in Apache.

Instead of 'serving' the page (translating it and sending it to the browser), it tries to send it as a download.
Php scripts only make sense to a server, not a browser, so the browser can't make sense of it and offers to save it instead.

Look to your php integration for the fix.

If you've only just installed it, apache needs to be restarted before it will serve php pages.
