I'm a newbie when it comes to the LAMP server > apps. Any help would be appreciated. Seems very much like some missinformation of some kind. Apache2 should not use any modules/ directory. Apache2 uses symlinks to enable modules, check if symlink exists. In the directory mods-enabled there should reside syms like this: php5.conf -> ../mods-available/php5.conf php5.load -> ../mods-available/php5.load Any other php relations within both httpd and apache2 conf is to be removed. It does not complain over missing php libs, it complains about syntax error. > > Thanks, > Randy -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
