Server Configuration : request for help

[محروم.كوم]

<div>Since migrating our site over to our new host we are having problems with PHP not executing correctly. The front page (index.php) appears OK but whenever I try to login I get a file download pop up appear asking me to download login.php rather than executing the code.

I am starting to think this is a PHP/Apache configuration issue but I really don't know how to fix it.

I know that our version of vBulletin is somewhat out of date now but I want to get the forum up and running on the new server before attempting the upgrade.

Please help, we only have a few days left on our contract with our current hosting company so I need to get this working soon before our old server gets turned off.

Here is the requested info:

1. Dedicated
2. Server specs:

cpu speed/type single or dual cpus: Dual Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.8GHz
how much memory installed: 2GB RAM
hard drive type/configuration: 250GB non raid
linux distributor or windows version: CentOS release 5.3
apache/IIS version: Apache 2.2.11
PHP version: php 5.2.8
MySQL version: mysql 5.1.31

3. vBulletin Version 3.5.3

4. N/A
5. Sorry, I have no idea how mysql was compiled/installed.

# installation this directory is /usr/local/mysql/data) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.
# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients

# Replication Slave (comment out master section to use this)
#
# To configure this host as a replication slave, you can choose between
# two methods :
#
# 1) Use the CHANGE MASTER TO command (fully described in our manual) -
# the syntax is:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST=, MASTER_PORT=,
# MASTER_USER=, MASTER_PASSWORD= ;
#
# where you replace , , by quoted strings and
# by the master's port number (3306 by default).
#
# Example:
#
# CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='125.564.12.1', MASTER_PORT=3306,
# MASTER_USER='joe', MASTER_PASSWORD='secret';
#
# OR
#
# 2) Set the variables below. However, in case you choose this method, then
# start replication for the first time (even unsuccessfully, for example
# if you mistyped the password in master-password and the slave fails to
# connect), the slave will create a master.info file, and any later
# change in this file to the variables' values below will be ignored and
# overridden by the content of the master.info file, unless you shutdown
# the slave server, delete master.info and restart the slaver server.
# For that reason, you may want to leave the lines below untouched
# (commented) and instead use CHANGE MASTER TO (see above)
#
# required unique id between 2 and 2^32 - 1
# (and different from the master)
# defaults to 2 if master-host is set
# but will not function as a slave if omitted
#server-id = 2
#
# The replication master for this slave - required
#master-host =
#
# The username the slave will use for authentication when connecting
# to the master - required
#master-user =
#
# The password the slave will authenticate with when connecting to
# the master - required
#master-password =
#
# The port the master is listening on.
# optional - defaults to 3306
