.phps

[alexjewell]

For some reason, .phps (php source) files aren't working on my server. I get a 404 error. On another server, I'm getting the same thing. On the last server I tried, it works but isn't color coded. Is there anyway I can make it color coded?

You need to
AddHandler php-source .phps

And where would I do that? [I have shared hosting]

I would assume that has to do with the Apache Modules? Not sure though.

[Twey]

A .htaccess file will do.

[alexjewell]

Alright, I've heard of .htaccess but have never used it. Where do I start?

[Twey]

Create a file called .htaccess and put the directive in it?

[alexjewell]

Alright, and just put that in my root directory? Ok.

Well, it may be alright, and then again, maybe not, since the system must be set-up to acknowledge the .htaccess file in the directory that you are putting it. There needs to be a directive: AllowOverride home/patheto/directory/ in httpd.conf, and then you need to do a soft restart on the server to pick this change up.....BTW..... (NIX servers, at least)
