<p>What would make a site want me to download the index.php when viewed?  I downloaded the database and all files from a staging server where site was fine.  When I go to any site URL on local machine it prompts me to save "login".  The contents of the saved file are the public index.php.  Is there some setting or cache I need to clear?  I have 10 other sites working local with no issue.</p>

<p>Running latest version of Craft 2.6.2789 on cPanel EasyApache4 server running the new PHP Handler with PHP7 selected for the site..</p>

<p>It actually is asking me to save the file using whatever the last segment is.  Here are contents from my htaccess file:</p>

<pre>
<code>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]


# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the “ea-php70” package as the default “PHP” programming language.

  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php70 .php .php7 .phtml

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

You need to remove this when running local.  The following piece of code is added on servers running the EasyApache4 PHP Handler.

# php -- BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# Set the "ea-php70" package as the default "PHP" programming language.

  AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php70 .php .php7 .phtml

# php -- END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
