My first WILD GUESS is that way long time ago, you changed httpd.conf and/or php.ini, but forgot to re-start Apache, and then tested, and everything worked, so you went on. Now, when you HAVE re-started Apache, your "fix" from ages ago is finally kicking in, and you have no recollection of that change. If you have log files or notes of changes made previously, especially to httpd.conf, php.ini, or .htaccess, review them -- Keep in mind that what you are calling your "original" httpd.conf and php.ini file are, in fact, the ones you modified oh so long ago. Another tack you can take is to go ahead and save what the browser is sending you and look at it and see what it looks like. PHP Source? Or something else? Also use telnet or curl (from another box) or similar to get the headers and HTML that is coming out from the broken pages. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
