 * Hi
 * I am a newbie at wordpress. I have been trying to make my wordpress site work
   since yesterday. Everytime I hit the link I get the flat php code on the webpage
   for somereason its not being parsed. I have checked wp-config.,.htaccess file,
   tried removing the plugins ,deactivating the themes. but no luck.
 * Any ideas why would my php code not get parsed.? theres another wordpress folder
   inside the same location that works fine. I have tried deleting and uploading
   it over and again.
 * NOTE: I am trying to copy the wordpress site from another server. I have done
   this before but never had this kind of problem. I have created a new db and set
   the connections and everything.

   working
    this is the error i get Warning: Cannot modify header information – 
   headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/72/8741972/html/lalaalu/
   index.php:16) in /home/content/72/8741972/html/lalaalu/wp-includes/pluggable.
   php on line 881.

 * Andy did you ever find a solution to this error?
    I am seeing the same thing.
 * PHP not parsed, just displays in the browser window like I’m looking at source
   code.
 * Thanks.
