Im currently trying to install open web analytics , on apache, using this tutorial and everything works great up until the point where I try to reboot the server after which instead of displaying the webpage my browsers trys to download the php file. Anyone have any ideas on what might cause this?

Check up your .htaccess file first, try even removing it temporary.

What OS are you on? You'll need to sudo systemctl start *whateverphpserviceyouuse* && systemctl enable *thesamephpservice*

was on ubuntu 16.04. I downgraded to 14.04 and that seems to fix the issue.

Before you downgraded did you check your error logs? i use fedora, so my logs are located at /var/log/httpd

Looks like the upgrade broke compatibility with php interpreter somehow and site starting serving .php as files instead of parsing them. What very of PHP are you running?
