[Solved] Can't execute install.php

I'm currently trying to install my second CMSMS site. Number one is up and running, works fine.

This second site wil be running in a LAMP environment. (As is the first one, same host, different domain.) Database is OK, Permissions are OK, config file is in place.

When navigating to install.php it promts me to open it in Textpad instead of  executing.

Any ideas on what's wrong?

If I'm right it's in cause of a timeout error  ::) ...

Maybe... It seems quick enough, though.

It looks like PHP isn't installed or isn't configured correctly (or apache isn't correctly configured to use PHP for .php files).

You can test by uploading a small script (called info.php for example) with this content:

Code: Select all

<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and check if it gets executed when you open it in your browser.

Tried that earlier on, Dee.

Anyway: All of a sudden it all works fine. Seems to have been a timeout problem after all.

Thank you both!
