Safari doesn't open PHP files

If i try to open a PHP file in safari, it shows the code. If the PHP file isn't local, for example, on a local website (using air sharing on my ipod touch and adding php files to it), it will download the file. If I open it there, it will only display the codes like it does on the original file on my mac. I'm trying to use wordpress but it doesn't work. Once I think i saw some of the page working (it was the login page and it was PHP). But i've tried everything i could do but it never worked again. Please help me! Thanks!

 

There's my other issue. It won't turn on. If i turn on personal web sharing, it just freezes at Web Sharing Starting up...

If you can, please help! (since your not on your mac, you may not be able to lol)

 

Mac OS X v10.4.11

 

I GOT IT! I have the installation PHP file working. It's hosted on my ipod touch using air sharing. The page though, looks awful! lol And when i try entering my details, (i'm guessing the box above is the username and the box below is the password lol) then i press this strange button with a code in it. It looks like it's suppost to say Install Word Press. If I click that, it just does nothing.

 

Well, I fixed my server. If I go to my url, http://71.193.112.221/~sawmaster/wordpress/ , it still doesn't work.

I don't always host this from my iPod. I was just doing it that way temporary.

Does anybody have any luck with the url above?

And I got the Apache server. Not any other kind of server.

 

I thought it wasn't a good idea..

For some reason, it seems that I keep doing wrong things lol. I bumped this thread. I got a warning.

 

What I just did to an apache file:

I edited the config file in the apache server.
Location: ect/httpd/httpd.conf

I didn't feel like looking through the entire page to find what to un-comment. So I searched for php by clicking (on the menu bar), Edit>>Find>>Find...
And I searched for PHP. This is the first result:

I had no idea what people mean when they want other people to restart apache. So I un-checked "Personal Web Sharing" in the Sharing panel. Then I rechecked it. Everything works fine. Except PHP.

REMEMBER: I'm trying to use wordpress.

Also, when I type in "/wordpress/" on my site, instead of seeing the default apache file browser, I see a fancy wordpress file browser. Amazing! This story gets more suspishish and exiting and intense!

 

Exuse me a moment, i'm going to go to a party celebrating THIS SWEEEEETTTTT APPLICATION!!!! THANKS LIKE DEAD CRAZY! THHAATAAANKS!!!


Pardon my exitedness.

 

Wow, you made my page creator possible!
