That worked, thanks Eric. It was a positioning problem, mod_fcgid was ahead of mod_unixd in the LoadModules list. I just moved it to the end of the list. I don't like to criticise, but could the documentation for 2.4 be updated to emphasize this requirement? http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html doesn't even mention mod_unixd. Regards, and thanks again.
