I have a wierd problem:

On my site www.cpfc.org - I upgraded PHP last night as WHM was reporting that I was running an insecure apache config.

I rebuilt apache/php without getting an error however when I went to www.cpfc.org I was prompted to see if I wanted to download the file of type PHP - this happened in both mozilla and firefox. My index page was php but ALL other php pages were displaying ok.

After much investifgation I deleted my browser cache and made sure my web browser was requesting a fresh copy of every page and the problem went away for me however now I am getting loads of complaints of people getting prompted to download the index page.

Really wierd.

So to rule out PHP - I converted the index page to static HTML but the problem still occurs. I have also added to cache tags to the new html page but still people are reporting that they are prompted to download the homepage.

Anyone got any ideas?

I had this problem at one stage I cannot remember for sure but I think it was to do with apache's handling of php files, I would check that httpd.conf has all the right settings.

Sorry I cannot be more accurate than that but it was a while ago I had the error, I really should start documenting these bug fixes.

Looks like it was a corrupt mod_gzip cache file - I guess I should of stuck to writing to tmpfs

Disabled mod_gzip and *most* people are OK apart from aa few AOLusers

I had the exact issue and corrected it the same way, aol and aol users always take longer to catch up with everyone else, so just give it a few more days and they will not have anymore problems.
