php files not recognized in browser

[Alex Maynard]

With a lots of help from this list I finally got this working.
Among other things I had to point to the URL not file as suggested
earlier and the final permissions problem was resolved by adding
o=rx permissions to the home directory.

Thank you all for being so generous with your advice (and for being so
patient with an inexperienced newbie). Not only glad to get this working,
but I learned a lot from your suggestions.

Thank you. Once I set permissions as below it worked.

drwxr-xr-x    2 amaynard amaynard      112 May 13 09:57 public_html/
drwxr-xr--   39 amaynard amaynard     3672 May 13 13:35 amaynard
drwxr-xr-x   39 amaynard amaynard     3672 May 13 13:39 amaynard/
