 * My installer.php looks like his:
    1f8b 0800 0000 0000 0003 ecfd 7b5b 1b39 d230
   0eff 9dbd AEFD 0e8d 3703 7668 1b9b 400th 763a 5e02 4ec2 8453 3084 2484 61bb

 * Hey Jordan,
 * That is not normal. It looks like your web server may be compressing it before
   sending it down. You may have to check the mime type on the server. Look for 
   the FAQ article titled “[Why do I get plain/text or a download prompt when browsing to the installer?](https://lifeinthegrid.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=12)”
   it will show you how to adjust the mime type, but you may also have to google
   how to turn off gzip compression for certain download types, I’m not 100% sure
   if that is the issue, but it looks like it could be related to that…
 * Thxs
