Local Apache server doesn't run php file, instead the web browser downloads

Question

My local Apache server doesn't run my php file, instead the web browser downloads it when I try to view it. I'm using LAMP on Ubuntu. Would you help me how I can solve this problem? Thank!

Problem solved, here is what I have done: I put back all my php file into the default html directory then I assigned DocumentRout variable to /bar/www/html/. DocmentRout variable is located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf file. Thanks for all ! — Teka

Did you tell LAMP to handle .php files with the php5_module?

Check your current php setting by creating a new php file in the htdocs or www direectory with the following content:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

This will show you if your webserver can process php files or not
