Did you run the latest Apache 2.2.9 and the PHP5 5.2.6? Looks like you need to update  |

I have that problem with this site on occasion (when there is lots of traffic ), but never on any of my test servers.
What OS are you running

| That message usually means that the Apache configuration is not up to snuff - instead of passing the file through the PHP module, it's just dumping it to the browser. I've fixed this problem before, but it's been so darn long I can't remember *how*. It has to do with the handlers configured for Apache though, that much I do remember.
