[Pkg-mediawiki-devel] Bug#530328: mediawiki: opening "you have chosen to open" "which is a: phtml file"

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

Package: mediawiki
Version: 1:1.14.0-1
Severity: normal


Greetings.

Please consider...

When I try to point the iceweasel web browser at

    http://localhost/mediawiki/

it pops up a little window titled

    "opening"

which says

    you have chosen to open 
    
    which is a: phtml file

    What should iceweasel do with this file?

        Open with <browse>

        Save file

        Do this automatically for files like this from now on.

                                <cancel>    <OK>

I seem to have fixed it by 

    1.) installing the libapache2-mod-php5
    package,

    2.) $ apache2ctl restart

    3.) and clearing iceweasel's cache via
    edit->preferences->privacy->(private data)clear now

Aptitude also made some other changes which
seem to me to be unlikely to have helped, but I
mention them for the sake of completeness...

    $ aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5

    php5-mysql [5.2.9.dfsg.1-2 (now) -> 5.2.9.dfsg.1-4 (unstable)]

    Score is 210

Perhaps mediawiki should depend on libapache2-mod-php5.

Thanks,
Kingsley
