Answer 1

in apache2 you can add multiple handlers as follows:

within your .conf file which is often located in /etc/apache/sites-available/ in linux/ubuntu , add this line

AddType: application/xhttpd-php .xphp

this will only take effect on the virtual host which you are adding this line to,

if you want your changes take effect on all your hosts, add this line to your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

if you don't have an access to you server configurations files :

you can add this line to your .htaccess file :

Addhandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .xphp

don't forget to restart your apache2 after changing the conf files

sudo service apache2 restart
