It looks like your index page is getting redirected to a file called
'index.php.old.old' which some mime-type definition file somewhere
(perhaps /etc/mime.types on the server?) is serving as
application/x-trash.  Likely you just need to figure out why it isn't
just serving up index.php, fix that, and you'll be good to go.
