 * Wrong key… sorry..
    When I try to log into my blog, I get a window “Opening post.
   php” “You have chosen to ‘post.php’ which is a: PHP file from: [http://mosltycajun.com/wordpress/wp-admin/](http://mosltycajun.com/wordpress/wp-admin/)
   What should Firefox do with this file?” and then option to open or save to disk.?
   WordPress problem or Firefox problem? The blog itself was doin g this to me yesterday
   but it’sworking okay now… but I can’t log in to my control panel… Help!!!!

 * It’s neither…. sounds like your server doesn’t support running php…. not good.
   
   create a file, call it info.php… in it put this code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> That’s
   it, nothing else. Upload it to your server and try to access the file from your
   browser…. if you get info ab out your server, then it does run PHP and there’s
   something else wrong. If it asks you to save the file, fire off an emai lto your
   web host and ask if they support running PHP on their servers. TG

 * Well, since the original posts(s) I did a little digging. The login page pulls
   up okay in IE, but not Firefox. This is a change, because I used Firefox all 
   the way through in setting up this blog, as far as posting and testing. Now all
   of a sudden Firefox does not seem to like PHP…
    The server has been running PHP
   just fine… Any Firefox whizzes out there???

 * Further investigation: I dl’d the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, 1.0PR, and
   I get the same problem. The login page loads fine in Mozilla 1.7 and in IE, and
   the blog proper loads in all three…
    Anyone else having this problem. Ideas?
