 * I’ve installed WP many times and not had this issues…
    I changed the configuration
   file to have the appropriate DB info then visit mysite/wp-admin/install.php to
   complete installation (via firefox). It then prompts me to download the php file
   rather than just opening the page. Attempted this in Safari too and same thing.
