    Website Downloads a File instead of Loading Index

    Hi,

    One of my client's websites - geylangchurch.com downloads a "download" file automatically when it is viewed, instead of displaying the index page. This website uses Joomla.

    The strange thing is that I have other Joomla and PHP type websites as well, and they don't have the same problem.

    Anyone knows how to resolve it?

    check the .htaccess for AddHandler or AddType and remove it.

    Thanks for the reply. But there's no such syntax.

    Code as follows

    ok check the parent folders .htaccess . Then make a phpinfo page on mail document root ( in cpanel servers /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpinfo.php ) and access it over browser , and check if it woks . If it won't works , then your apache_ php configuration having issues.

    Are you using cpanel ?
