To me, it looks more like a problem with the HTTP server (which you did
not name). It's typical, when a handler for a particular type of scripts
intended to generate a dynamic web page, fails to be set up or
registered properly, the server offers to download the actual code
file instead of executing it and providing its output as a page content.
Of course, no errors are generated in this case as this is not a problem
from the HTTP server's point of view.

Also note that some browsers tend to over-aggressively "cache" the
content type offerred by the server for a particular URL, so when you
feel the problem is fixed, but the browser still offers to download the
file, try from another box or with another browser.
