Weird download thing

Postby clyzm » Thu Oct 19, 06 6:40 am

When I go to www.dxalpha.com as a whole, Firefox gives me a popup message to "download something". I don't know what it is, but it won't get me to the main page (I have to go to www.dxalpha.com/posting.php then on the home page).

Here is a pic of it:

Or when Apache hasn't got php as a registered module.

No, not in this case. If you saved this posting.php to your hard drive and opened it, you could see that it's just a part of HTML code without any PHP.

It doesn't know that it's just a piece of html code. It judges the file type on it's extension.

Yeah its the servers fault not the client. The apache server doesn't have PHP module registered, so therefore it offers to user to download it. It happened when I was running a script called phpsysinfo on my server without php installed (apache2-mod-php4/5).

And if PHP wasn't installed, the file would contain php code of our phpBBs posting.php.
