apache php configuration

hi,
i have installed apache 2.2.4 on my linux box and it says "it works"

i have installed php and ran a sample program in shell even that works.

configured httpd to load php5 module and read .php

configured php for apxs2 mysql

copied the php.ini-dist file to /usr/local/lib

created a test.php file in htdocs

when i type http://localhost/test.php i get a blank screen!!

any idea where i have missed and what

 

i removed the line "AddType text/html php"

restarted apache and it worked!!

 

Isn't that always the way; you ask someone and then, almost immediately, you figure it out for yourself!
