Hello,
First of all, the basics: running latest Ubuntu images with Serverpilot managing the server install.
I created a basic stats script (in the form of download.php?show=XX) for our radio station podcasts and everything works fine, except when trying to listen in iTunes. I checked, and here’s what Apple has to say about the matter:
The URL preceding GET-style form values (before the first “?”) must end in a media file extension (such as .mp3).
Correct
http://www.podcaster.com/load.mp3?f=&Wipeout.mp3
Incorrect
http://www.podcaster.com/load.php?f=&Wipeout.php
How would I change my server config so that I could run my PHP script under an mp3 extension?

You can configure Apache to use different extensions for php either through a configuration change or an .htaccess file. This page in the php manual should be what you are looking for:

If this is a one-off exception just for
load.php
, you can use a rewrite: Add this to your.htaccess
file:If you want all .mp3 files to be parsed as php, add the following line to
.htaccess
