Anybody know what would cause PHP pages to not load, and instead when pointing a browser to a php page, the browser would issue a prompt asking the user if they would like to download the page.
What could possibly be in my httpd.config that would cause that?? |

Come to think of it, it is only affecting one account, which happens to have an .htaccess file that redirects to a php file. Seems to me php suexec would turn this funtion off, would it not? So now the question is, how do I yurn php suexec off?

For the benefit of other noobies reading this, the problem was, indeed, suexec. The odd thing is, I never turned it on, since many posts have advised leaving it off.
And, when i went to turn it off, whm said it wasn't available, and that I would have to rebuild apache. I did so, and the turned suexec off, and .htaccess files began to work. What a painful way of of spending a sunday :-( |

I'm haunted.
This problem will not go away. I have a user who, when he points his browser to his sites (hosted on my Xeon box) experiences the following: html loads, but all the php pages do not. Instead he gets a prompt asking if he wants to download the file. This is maddening, and only happens with him. Has anybody else experienced this crazy situation? |

Update!!!
After a few sleepless nights, going over httpd.conf to the point I can now recite every line from memory, it turns out the problem was with a proxy server at the clients ISP. What made this hard to trouble shoot is the fact that his site was the only one on the box, because I had recently leased it for my cluster. Ergo, i could not use other sites as a point of reference. So if you're ever confronted with a client saying his php files do not load, and instead is being prompted to download them, and you *know* everything is kosher with httpd.conf, there is another variable you can investigate: the clients own isp. Sleep... sleeeep... for the first time in three days.... ahhh... |
