I've come across a weird problem. It's not DF's fault, more likely it's something to do with php5 or apache, but it's weird and I'm baffled.

Here's the first url...

irvolunteers.org

You get a download box instead of index.php. The / doesn't make a difference

Second URL

irvolunteers.org/index.php

Works!

Third URL

irvolunteers.org/admin.php

Back to download again.

I'm still logged in as admin, if I go to any specific item, i.e. irvolunteers.org/admin...?op=blocks Works! and all the links to site areas from index.php work.

Configuration, brand new MySQL5, brand new PHP5.. info irvolunteers.org/phpinfo.php. apache is configured to look for index.php for a directory listing call...

I have another php/mysql site under construction on the same server using Zen cart media-drop.co.uk and it has no such problems. Virtual hosts files are the same, DNS setup is the same. There is no issue with file ownership..

Anyone who can suggest anything .. I'm at a loss where to look next.

All three of the urls work fine for me.

Response Headers - irvolunteers.org/index.php

Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 4919

Response Headers - irvolunteers.org/

Content-Encoding: gzip
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 4918

there's only 1 byte difference in the content length.
is hard to guess what that 1 byte is

Thank you..

The original problem I was addressing had to do with the setup between the server and the router. Whilst this was being configured a DNS error produced the download instead of display error. This was subsequently fixed.

However.. the download was cached in Firefox.. after reading your posts I stopped looking at the server and had a look at my own machine. Firefox cache cleared, anomaly resolved.

I have exactlty the same problem, but clearing the cache does not help.
Either there ist nothing (with IE) or I get the admin.php offerd to download.

standard and fresh installation...

cmstest.rpg-community..../admin.php

Go test it...

I apprechiat any help.
thanks

Are you sure mod php is loaded in apache?

This used to be one of the default set but recently I've discovered in new installs it has to be added manually. If it isn't loaded then apache doesn't know what to do with it.

its a shared server. and there are several php-based portals running on it. i guess the other would not work either it that is the case, right?

but i checked anyway...
I used a

Code::

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And it looks fine to me...

you can check it yourself at /dragonfly/test.php

anyone? please!

I would really love to try this cms.

I don't get a download offered. Your index says maintenance, your admin.php gives a blank page.
