index.php is downloading itself #13

Hi,

First of all thank you for making such a handy project. I was looking for such a static local web server, it works well. But it keeps downloading .php file as if it's not in server root. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 platform. What should I do to let server open .php files in browser?

Regards

Kenn

hi @kensully, do you mean you want to see the content of the php file in your browser (i.e. the code), or do you want to see rendered php output in your browser?

Hi; No, I don't want to see content of php file (not codes) in static web server. I want it open php files. A php file that is not in my localhost is downloading itself. I wonder if it's a design issue in ws

it's because, by default, connect serves .php files with a Content-type of application/octet-stream - the browser assumes a file with this MIME type should be saved.. i'm working on a solution to allow this to be overridden.

fixed in 0.5.14.. see here.. let me know if you have any questions

local-web-server only serves static files, it does not dynamically render PHP scripts..
