    I’ve just been trying to create a new install of WP at http://www.foxtwood.co.uk
    For some reason this now just results in the download of the index.php file containing the following, but doesn’t load the site.
    I’ve created dozens of installs before, without issue and have never come across this before.

    <?php
    /**
    * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads
    * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
    *
    * @package WordPress
    */

    /**
    * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
    *
    * @var bool
    */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);

    /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );

    Any thoughts???

    That normally means that either yoru server doesn’t support PHP, so it just sends the files contents, or the PHP handler isn’t configured correctly. Either way you’ll need to talk to your hosting company as it’s a server issue and they are the only ones that will be able to help with it.
