We’re upgrading our web server (physical machine). Our site works fine. However, I noticed that going to a PHP file, i.e. /index.php causes the file to download. Going to /index.php?asdfasdf causes the file to work correctly. Help? In our Nginx configuration we have: ``` location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_param HTTPS on; include fcgi; fastcgi_pass joomphp; } ``` In our old server, this works fine and we don’t have this issue. – Ilan B.
