When calling the phpmyadmin website a "save file" dialog appears for application/x-httpd-php-
so my server does not execute the phpmyadmin php script but transfers the code to my browser. Other php such as roundcube or ispconfig work as supposed.
- I found a topic here that stated to enable short_open_tags in the php.ini but that did not help (i.e. it already was enabled by default).
- Also, I checked to have installed and enabled the apache 2 php5 modules.
- In the logs files obviously no errors are listed.
- I wondered if the phpmyadmin.conf is even regarded, as only a symlink is pointing to /usr/share/phpmyadmin in the etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory, but since the Alias /phpmyadmin works, this is not the problem.
- I checked the apache2 config files but could not find anything wrong.
Nevertheless I'd like to post some here: apache2.conf

I am running out of ideas here. I need to mention, that I mistakenly upgraded directly from Debian 5 to Debian 7 which was a big pain and caused a lot of trouble. This current problem is part of it and there might be weird causes involved, such as depreciated config entries or whatever.
