Why does my index.php download instead of the site displaying?

[Slipologist]

I've just switched over to Jaguar, and have uploaded my site from start, using a PHP platform. Now, when I go to the address (www.slipology.com), instead of the page opening up, it downloads the index.php and doesn't display anything. What is with that?

I'd guess you don't have a php handler working. If you have management (VPS or added on a dedicated) open a ticket with support.

What is in that index.php? I was not about to download it. There has to be some code in the file causing this. What happens when you put a blank file there?

I agree with Ron. The file is being sent to the browser as type application/x-httpd-php, which normally would be intecepted by Apache to be sent to a PHP handler. Without knowing more about your setup it is difficult to instruct you on how to proceed, but as Ron said, if you have managed support as part of your service (if you are on VPS then you do) it be fairly easy for a tech to fix this once he sees the particulars of your system.

Ignore my post. The experts have spoken! I can get a PHP app to run but understand little of actual PHP. Ron & Jason be your men for that!
