Apache HTML page problems

[Skid]

I've recently completed a project using .html and .php pages. However for no reason at all .html pages will no only display the HTML source code and not the page itself, However if I rename the .html page to . php the html tags are processed and the page is displayed correctly!?!

Can anyone help me as I'm going mad trying to sort out this problem!

Skid,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

It sounds like your server is returning an incorrect MIME-type for HTML files. The correct type is "text/html".

Use the Server Headers checker [webmasterworld.com] in the WebmasterWorld control panel to check this.

See Apache mod_mime [httpd.apache.org] for more information.
