Thanks Arthur. That was my initial thought, that the file permissions were wrong. I just checked again and the permission on the root directory of this page (/httpd) is rwxr-xr-x and it is owned by root so the directory can be world read and descended. Same for all of the virtual host lever directories below it, so they are world-readable and world descendable. All of these directories are also owned by root, mainly to control anything being written over the page and script files. All of the page and script files are world readable but owned by their "user". For example, the phpinfo file that won't run is: -rw-r--r--. 1 John John 213 Mar 19 17:23 phpinfo.php Making this file executable doesn't do anything for the problem. It shouldn't but it was worth a try. As a test, I picked a file on which I don't have any permissions in a different virtual host and was able to cat it. So no matter what uid apache and mod_fcgid/php-cgi are running under should be able to read the script. When I try to run the script phpinfo from a fresh start of Apache, before the script runs there is no php-cgi shown as running. After attempting to run, php-cgi is running and is a child of one of the httpd process children. That is, httpd is under pid 10613, the httpd children are 10614 to 10617 with parent pid 10613, and the php-cgi process is pid 10780 with parent pid 10614. As a further test I modified things so that the php script was not treated as php and the page displays only the pure html lines in the script. No problems getting there.
