phpBB problem Safari/FireFox/etc

Just setup the above service on my Mac at home as a testbed.

When I attempt to login, a file is transmitted to the browser "index.php", this gets saved everytime, a pest. However during the process of transfer, the file is initially gived and "exe" extension. The problm is that all sbrowsers attempt to save this to disk. I guess as its an exception in the ownload rules

When I lo inot othe sites with phpBB, this does not happen, so I'm led to believe that there is a configuration switch in phpBB that I've missed.

Anybody got an idea whats wrong here. Thanks in advance.
 
Actually the problem is in Apache.

Basically you need to edit your httpd.conf file, look for a line that kinda like:
"AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .phtml"
abd uncomment it by removing the # at the beginning of the line

If one does not exist, you need to add it. It is in the mime.types section.
 
Thanks for the note and at first glance it would seem to be the fix. Had a look and these lines were uncommented in the httpd.conf file.

During the process of transfering the index.php in initally comes witha .exe extension untill it is completely downloaded. The Mac thinks its a binary file?
