Hello,
I know that's quite a late response. But i'm having same problem on my CentOs server which have different user for apache. I checked .config folder in /var/www and it is having full ownership, permission. But still i'm not getting that proper html formatted file. All i'm getting is special characters in html file.
Even i tried to create other user and give full access, permisssions to .config folder in its home directory, but no luck.
Do we have something more to consider to get proper html file
Thanks!
