Somtimes PHP scripts are offered for download

[klantomo]

Most of the time everything works fine. But sometimes Apache offers php scripts for download. This happens with different browsers on different machines. It is also independent on the php script. I am using Apache 2, PHP 4.3.3 and SuSE 9.0. This problem drives me crazy because it is very hard to find out what's wrong. Usually it will work again within seconds without changing anything on the server. One has to empty the browser cache before this script works correctly again. As the php script itself can really be downloaded in these cases it must be a server problem. Did anyone experience something similar?

How are you running PHP, as an Apache module or as a CGI?
How did you install PHP and Apache, from source tarballs or from binary packages?

I don't know if these questions are pertinent or not. I do know that I've always installed Apache and PHP from source tarball and run PHP as an Apache module and I've never had that problem.

klantomo,

Is there anything odd in your Apache logs that happens at the same time that your PHP scripts are downloaded?

I've been running Apache 1.3 and PHP for years and never seen this happen on my server.
