Moved to new domain, now index.php downloads on page load (4 posts)

    Today, I moved an installation of WordPress to a new domain (from the .com version to the .org version) using these instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress (the first set)

    I changed the WordPress & Blog Location URIs, downloaded the files, and reuploaded them to the new directory. When I go to the new location (http://redletterchristianresources.org/), a file containing the contents WordPress's index.php file downloads automatically.

    What did I do wrong? / What do I need to do?

    Tracking down:

    I realized on my new domain, PHP wasn't enabled which is obviously a problem. I enabled PHP (but not safe mood) and CGI. No difference (at least not yet). Still comparing differences between the domain settings.

    Try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This which will force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 - 2.9.2) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    Try to Add a small index.php page in any of the sub folders of your domain and then try to run a small code in it.. If the web browser still downloads the index.php file .. Then check your server apache settings or reset it.Re-enable php..
