It is. The problem is that you asked for "most common/optimum/best setup" "optimum" for what? "best" for what? Too vauge, what you would configure to do mass vhosting is nothing like what you would configure for an occasionally used control panel. What you would do for security of a handful of non-intrusive formatting php scripts is nothing like the security holes you would leave open to try to deploy a poorly written php application just to permit it to run. So Mark wasn't being snide, decide what you want to accomplish, then ask here (and/or on php's user lists) what folks recommend for your scenario/platform/applications. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
