    Some genius I'm trying to host a site for used ".php5" file extensions instead of ".php", and now it doesn't seem to work on my OS X server (It used to be hosted with GoDaddy).

    Is there a way to (a) get the .php5 file extension working, or (b) alias file extensions?

    Thanks

    In the httpd.conf there should be a line similar to,
    Code:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
    A .php5 extension can be added here. You likely don't have access to the httpd.conf file though so you'll need to set this up through a .htaccess file and put that in your root directory of your site. That should work as long as your web host allows it.
