Frequently Asked Questions
The install page shows a jumble of PHP code
Q.
When I view Textpattern pages, all I see is the contents of the PHP files
A.
Either one of two things is happening:
1. Your server isn’t configured to interpret .php files as programs.
Ask your web host or server admin to set up the necessary AddType magic. If you’re running your own server, please see the PHP Installation instructions.
2. You’re trying to open Textpattern’s PHP files directly from your own computer, perhaps using a file:.. URL.
If you want to run a Textpattern installation on your local machine for test purposes, and have all the necessary server software installed, make sure you access Textpattern via http://.. URLs. If you use file:.. URL instead, your web browser will open the PHP files directly, bypassing the web server and PHP software.
