Payment Gateway generates error - just after install

[XstreamGaming]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with the payment gateway module. I can enter any section of the admin panel except this one, when I try to my broswer spits out a php file for download with advice to contact the admin.

 

I checked the troubleshooting section, but I can't see a duplicate file and anyway this is a fresh installation. I have whmcs installed as a sub directory of htdocs which contains a joomla installation. In case anyone can spot a problem, here is the .htaccess from htdocs;

Which payment gateway module are you using?

What's the name of the file you're asked to download?

I just noticed the post, it took a little while to get past the moderators . The problem was with my Zend CE WAMP stack. WHMCS didn't seem to like the 5.2 version but upgrading to 5.3 cured all. No idea why the issue occured (I'm pretty sure I had the correct ioncube loader .dll installed) but I found a post on this forum from someone who had the same issue (it was the lead I needed).
