PHP, Apache and Desktop program links opening as text?

[geo]

Permissions on that file as well as all other files and subdirectories, I've set them to be read-only for all others.

Joomla seems to have taken over as my web root. Is this something that I would identify in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default?

This is what is in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file and I was trying to get Joomla to show up when I type: http://georutkay.homelinux.org

But I still expected directories OUT of the Joomla directory to remain accessible - these all fail to remain accessible once outside of Joomla and I end up with error messages that the link is outdated (or to that effect):

Interesting. Your Joomla! installation is working so your PHP/MySQL
and Apache install is fine. You might be onto something suspecting
file/folder permissions.

What are the permissions set on the file /var/www/test.php?

Also, who is running the apache2 service? Does it have access to that file?

Andrew.
