Cannot get to setup wizard

Friday 02 January 2009 1:00:40 pm

Hi,
I have installed on my Ubuntu 8.10 machine: apache2 (including a package "apache2-mpm-prefork"), mysql 5.0, and PHP Version 5.2.6-2ubuntu4 - so I think this meets all requirements for ez-publish4 !?

I moved the unpacked ez-published-4.0.1/ to /var/www/ which is served by apache and tried to load
http://localhost/ezpublish-4.0.1/index.php
which should start the setup-wizard as described in the installation instrucrtion.
However, my browser does not load anything, but instead asks me whether I want to download index.php. So what is wrong here?
To exclude possible reasons I put a test.php into ezpublish-4.0.1/ containing this line only:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

And the browser displays as expected all the PHP Version 5.2.6 infos.
