Index.php downloading instead of opening in browser

[realjv3]

Hello,
when I browse to my web site, www.realjv3.com, instead of rendering index.php in the browser, it starts downloading. This is also happening for other files in the public_html directory, like about.php.

My .htaccess file in web root looks like this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType application/x-font-woff .woff

Any ideas?
Thank you.

Try removing the line here:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .php

Also, if you are wanting index.html and index.htm to be the default thing as well then I would add their file extensions to the DirectoryIndex list.

Hi realjv3,

Just to add on to what @caftpx10 said, the AddType you have already can work if you use -lsphp instead, as below.

AddType application/x-httpd-lsphp .html .htm .php

I've fixed this for you.

Thank you,

Thanks for both of your inputs, really appreciate it. I tried both suggestions.
Removing the AddType application/x-httpd-php line or adding the "-ls" stops the downloading of index.php, the page loads in browser but the php isn't executed, resulting in blank page.

There is a problem with your domain so I cannot look at the issue myself (apparently it is to do with MX).

I'd be happy to post my domain's DNS records if that helps. Are you referring to DNS mx records or x10.mx top level domain?

[ www.realjv3.com ] throws a 'Not Found' error -:- [ realjv3.com ] starts a 'downlod' of a file named "download"
that file shows you are trying to use ( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ) - which has a issue on your x10hosting's free-hosting server [ xo1 ]
see --> [ http://status.x10hosting.com/ ]

here is the file downloaded at [ realjv3.com ]...

<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/init.php';
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/overall/head.php';
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/overall/header.php';
?>

<div class="content">

    <?php
        include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/overall/nav.php';
    ?>

    <div class="subnav">
        <?php
            if (isset($_SESSION['errors'])) {
                output_error();
            }
            $suffix = get_last_blurb_page_suffix();
           
            if ($suffix > 0) {                                        //puts a link to older blurbs on page if older blurbs exist
                echo "<a href='/overall/blurb_archive/blurbs$suffix.php'><div class='older'></div></a>";   
            }
           
        ?>
    </div>

    <?php
    include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/overall/blurb_archive/blurbs.php';
    ?>

<?php
    include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/overall/footer.php';
?>

DNS MX Records.
However, it seems that bdistler has managed to end up downloading a file which is strange.

Hi,

The unexpected download is occurring due to an incorrect AddType, as I mentioned earlier. Changing "-php" to "-lsphp" will stop the download issue. However, it seems that the DOCUMENT_ROOT issue on your server is currently preventing the PHP file from executing correctly, which is why you are seeing the blank page.

We're working on resolving the issue regarding the PHP superglobals.

Thank you,
