[Solved] When i go to localhost, its downloading the file instead of displaying it in the browser.
Added by irishfight over 9 years ago
Sorry but im pretty new to this, im a great PHP programmer and HTML/CSS designer, but for the most part, i havent had any experience setting up any servers, and its something im loving to learn. I got the server up and running and it was working fine, until i reset my computer. I turned Lighttp back on using:
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd start
And i currently get this:
sudo /etc/init.d/lighttpd status * lighttpd is running
The file that im trying to display is just a .html file with some linked images and css files (if that matters). Im running the newest version of lighttp (just downloaded it a few days ago), and i have elementaryOS:

Make sure that mimetype.assign is configured with the file extensions you are serving.
Check the Content-Type response header returned by lighttpd (should be a Web Developer tool in the Tools menu your browser, or some similar menu option)
