Hi all. Im trying to setup phpBB3 but when I browse to the install folder (http://kiwitradespeople.x10hosting.com/phpBB3/install/index.php) the browser just wants to download the file rather than opening/prasing it. Intermediate Ver PHP support is added to my account and have added the Handler: server-parsed to Ext:.php. Any help would be much apriaciated.

Cheers

what are the permissions for the folder and the files inside of it?

this is what it downloads:

PHP:
<?php

);
// Output page
page_header($user->lang['INDEX']);
$template->set_filenames(array(
 'body' => 'index_body.html')
);
page_footer();
?>

Which i believe is index.php.

Also, /install/ doesn't exist, as I get a 404 not found error.

Folders are 755, even if i change all to 777 it dosent make a difference. Seems to just work for everyone else except me, strange. I also tryed setting up phpBB3 with Fantastico but had same problems. NOTE: install folder is back.

delete all files and databases that have to do with PHPbb3
and reinstall.

I know this may sound stupid, but have you extracted the install folder yet?
