Extensionless files to be parsed as php, HOW?

[Zalman]

Hi all, I'm trying to get apache to parse all files without mine type (no extension) as PHP. It should be easy, I'm supposed to add this to .htaccess:

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php

But it doesn't work. I get error 500, internal server error, and the error is file has no execute mode. Apache is thinking it's a CGI file!

All this is working on my home linux computer (i have apache 2.0 though).

Any thoughts? Thx

I don't think it's possible with PHPSuExec in operation.
I had to change all my files to use mod_rewrite in the end.

The only thing I know how to do is to get a different extension to be parsed by php with the following:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .shtml .html .htm

That way I can parse php in htm, html, and shtml files. Probably doesn't help, but maybe it'll lead you in the right direction.

Just a thought have you tried something like:

DefaultType application/x-httpd-fastphp

In a PHPSuExec setup, that works; but you cannot set it to a "non standard" file type.

Have you tried: DefaultType application/x-httpd-fastphp

Just did, doesn't work, they just get application/x-httpd-fastphp mime type which opens a download box in firefox. In other words apache just pass them trough.

Why did you think about this? Any links?

Thanks guys for all responses!
