Ok - it’s probably simple - but I’m new to the backend - for some reason my site quite working and shows the following (plus a lot more)- I have checked all the permissions.

In that file, do you see an opening PHP tag?

eg:

<?php

... rest of file

If not:

Have you done anything with .htaccess recently?  I’d also check with the host to make sure nothing has been recently done with php, eg taking it from an apache module to CGI.

PS:  Welcome to the forums!!  😊

Yes it there

<?php

okay.

In order to rule out if this is an EE issue or server php parsing issue, can you please make a file called “test.php” with the following contents:

<?php

echo "hey, is PHP working for me?!?";

?>

and upload it to your server. 

When you visit that page, do you see all the code or just the text?

-greg

I see the text

okay.

Can you get to your control panel?

Do you know what version and build you are running?

sorry - had a meeting

v 1.6.4

Hers is the build

Build:  20080829

okay.  If you go to your control panel, does it load?

yes - no problem until it select “view”

Here is the url to view full message

okay…

here’s what I’d suggest.  I know you are on the most recent version/build, however I think you should backup your site and MySQL database and update as per the instructions in the docs.  Verify permissions, etc.

Can you give that a try & report back?
