Cannot run phpinfo() on Ubuntu 8.04LTS

Asked by uye

i have installed apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box without raising any errors. When i browse to index.html found in /var/www directory by surging to http://myBoxName from FireFox browser, it does display the page. i create a test.php page in /var/www as follows.
# test.php
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
When i point my FireFox browser to http://myBoxName/test.php, it only prompts me to save the file without displaying phpinfo.
Pls help me to use php with my apache2. Thanks in anticipation.
