address/index.php works using only using only address/ starts a download

Hello all

I have a LAMP server using apache 2 on Debian Lenny on a VPS.

I have this annoying error that I have a great difficulty in resolving. When I go to the site only using the address or ip I receive the following error (in ie) "file download - Security Warning Do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it?"
I get the same kind of error no matter which browser I use and I also get the same error from other computers.

Does anyone know what the cause of the error may be?

Best regards
/DS

 

maybe the listening url in vhosts configuration is just your domain, and then apache doesn't know what to do when people come from your IP
just guessing, I am not an expert
I guess if you paste your vhosts configuration, other people can help you better?

I have come to believe that it is the httpd.conf that I need work with. My problem is that I don't seem to have that file anywhere..

 

Hi,

httpd.conf is normally found here /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf sometimes it maybe /etc/apache or /etc/apache2.

However, maybe you should simply exectue this command to find it:

find / -name 'httpd.conf'
