My installation was working fine.
I had problems with an unrelated postnuke installation in another directory, which required me to make some changes to my php.ini
Now, when I try to access my forum, I get a download file box with unknown file type. This also happens for the newthread.php and others

I can get to my admin CP fine - no problems there. Also it doesn't seem to find anything wrong with the forum - no error messages no nothing.
But if I try to view my forum even from the admin CP or directly from the link, I get that box to download index.php - unknown filetype

Can someone help me on this? I think it has to be some setting to do with the php.ini that I have enabled/disabled or set differently, but I can't figure out what.

If you're able to get into your admin CP, can you try to disable GZip compression in your settings (it's in the Server Optimization setting group)

Now I can't even get into the Admin - I had around an hour ago

Now I get:


Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Ok I can get into my Admin CP again. Done that and it is all working now.
Thanks!!!

Why did it suddenly create this problem? I was working fine for over a month now with no changes in any settings. Is there anything I should be careful of here?

It would have had something to do with that. You shouldn't really change things in the php.ini file unless you know what you are doing, and what it affects, so be careful next time.

Other than that, nothing else should be a problem.
