Is there something I can do?

[TaintedPearls]

Everytime I go to my site, I get prompted to download a file. I contacted my provider and they reported back that it was a zone error or something and that it was fixed. I saw my site for a while and then it came back. Is there something I can do or is it up to the provider to fix it?

It's not just me who has this error. Another site located on the same server that uses php has the same prompt. HTML only pages are ok.

The filetype that I get in the prompt says that it's an "application/x-httpd-php". I read on google somewhere that's it a problem between apache and php (if I remember correctly). Can anyone offer suggestions on what can be done?

It sounds as if your host doesn't have PHP properly configured on the server.

Create a .htaccess file in your root directory (or add this to it if one already exists):

AddType application/x-httpd-php php

Normally this should be in Apache's httpd.conf, but unless you have root access on the server you can't do anything about that.

i'm on a managed server so shouldn't they have done this?

EDIT
i did that but it didn't work unfortunately.

If the servers are fully managed and you are paying extra for that then its the host responsibility to solve each and every issue of the client.

I guess they can't. That's the true WHP expericence, isn't it?

I'm told that they are but I had this problem for three days. The only way I got a response from them was to file a dispute with paypal.

PHP needs to be recompiled. If they already did that and your still having issues clean out your temp files (cookies).

See if that works

Your host needs to recompile Apache. Good luck!

i get this same problem, it happens once in a while... my index.php is prompted to download "-_- so if i use AddType application/x-httpd-php php in a htaccess wud it fix it?

Sounds like the host has a few issues on their main server they need to solve.
