index.php is get downloading

Hello….

Why index.php is downloading? You wanna know that.

The issue occurred due to PHP handler and the rule in.htaccess file.

How to fix?

Step 1. Go to cPanel change your domain’s PHP version to 5.6

Step 2. Login as root via SSH

Step 3. Go the home folder of the user

Step 4. find . –name .htaccess

You could see some .htaccess file, open it via any editor like nano or vim

You can see something like this in the .htaccess file

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
    suPHP_ConfigPath /opt/php52/lib
</IfModule>

Uncomment the AddHandler or change the name of.htaccess file to .htaccess_bak

Step 5. Clear your browser cache and recheck it

Fixed ?………!!
