i untarred the files but when i go to view the index.php file it just displays the code in my browser. any idea what's wrong?

i have apache 1.3.14, php 4.0.3, gdbm 1.8 and php-dbm installed all from mandrake 7.2 rpms

you can view it at http://65.26.243.217/phpwiki/

Apache does not recognize the file as a php file. Have you run php on your box before?

You need to edit your Apache configuration file, httpd.conf, and make sure these lines are there:

    # AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
    # make certain files to be certain types.
    #
    # For example, the PHP 3.x module (not part of the Apache distribution - see
    # http://www.php.net\) will typically use:
    #
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
    #AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
    #
    # And for PHP 4.x, use:
    #
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
