Why is index.php interpreted as text?

🚧 Installation

I am testing with apache to see if php-fpm gives same redirect looping. Oddly, index.php is getting interpreted as text. I copied it to index2.php and that works though it claims it can’t write to the config directory, which has write permissions for apache.

Also, status.php returns a blank page.
