the web browser asks me if I want to download my index.htm file,instead of showing it

Under the domain publicpen.com I've several dozen sites in
subdiretories, such as www.publicpen.com/honenbeger. I've no trouble
with any of these sites. But under one, which I put in yesterday,
www.publicpen.com/staengl, when I point my browser there, the browser,
instead of showing me the index.htm pages like it should, it instead
tries to download it as an object. Why?

Below are the contents of index.htm. Does anyone see anythging wrong
here?

Because http://www.publicpen.com/staengl/ is sent with

Content-Type: application/x-php

and most browsers don't know what to do with that, and most browsers are
configured to ask the user to save unknown file types.

Wow, I never would have caught that. It's interesting, I've lost money
every single time I've tried to port someone else's site. I charge for
2 hours, which I assume is excessive because, after all, how hard can
it be to move a bunch of static web pages from one server to another?
And yet every single time so far I have run into problems, because the
original web design made a series of assumptions that are alien to my
way of thinking, and so a simple move of 10 static pages ends up
costing me 6 hours of my time. Amazing.

This is the content type header in the file:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">

It looks to me as if this file is already being sent as text/html. Why
does the browser think it is PHP?
Below is the entire text of the file "index.htm" .

Any idea why this file would act like this? Or why the server would
send this header for this one file. None of the domains on the server
are acting this way. We have 30 domains hosted on this server, all of
them work normally. For instance, look here:

http://www.keymedia.biz/

Under the keymedia.biz domain, the software server the "index.html "
file correctly. But in www.publicpen.com/staengl the server is trying
to serve "index.html " as application/x-php. Why would it do this, and
for just this one file?

You'd have to look in the server configuration file(s) to find out.
Someone set it up that way. There really isn't a lot of point in
speculating about it. It might just be a typo.

Who set it up that way? I set up both of the domains here listed, and
I was the last person to edit the default.config file for Apache. So
if I didn't do it, then it seems likely no one did.

How in the world do we know? And what does it matter? You fixed the
problem last I checked. And server configuration is only tangentially
related to ciwah.
