Just installed the software via softaculous and got an admin link.Clicking on it leads to a download notification of an unidentified file.

Any advice?

The issue looks like within softaculous issue . The direct fa version you many not use there. It was modified by the softaculous team and updated for you to use it.

But you can try to download from frontaccounting site and unzip it to there.  And be sure for the config.php and config_db.php . Then the issue will be fixed.

If you are using the Vivaldi or any non-standard browser, check your file associations for htm, html, php and other files.

This is the actual error after opening the file:
***********************************************************************/ $path_to_root="."; if (!file_exists($path_to_root.'/config_db.php')) header("Location: ".$path_to_root."/install/index.php"); $page_security = 'SA_OPEN'; ini_set('xdebug.auto_trace',1); include_once("includes/session.inc"); add_access_extensions(); $app = &$_SESSION["App"]; if (isset($_GET['application'])) $app->selected_application = $_GET['application']; $app->display();

Enable php for your web server for the path in which FA is installed. Looks like the cPanel script just copied over the FA files and found that it could not use PHP in the target folder. All that this has exposed is the contents of the raw index.php file without PHP operation.
