# Dashboard opens in browser as code

 * I recently updated to PHP5 on my server in order to upgrade to WP3.2.1. This 
   was an older blog that I am reactivating. When I couldn’t access the dashboard
   I dumped the old WP files and renamed the folder within my site from “wordpress”
   to “blog.” Now when I attempt to access the dashboard it comes up as PHP code
   in the browser. This is true of Firefox and Safari. I’ve tried resaving the wp-
   config file, but nothing changes. I haven’t seen any posts anywhere regarding
   this problem and haven’t experienced it with any of the other WP sites I use.
   Here’s the URL:

 * Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 * I show you hosted on GoDaddy. Did you contact them? BTW, all your php files come
   up as plain text which tells me that php in not installed or configured correctly.

 * Thanks for the feedback. I’ll contact GoDaddy and see what gives. I thought the
   switch to PHP5 was a simple matter of selection, but perhaps not.

 * Problem solved. As usual, trying to accomplish too much at once I neglected to
   run the install script. Thanks for your help kmessinger!
