If you don't give that a file extension, why would you expect Apache to know what type of preprocessor to use on it? It's like if you renamed all your image file extensions, but still expected them to open correctly in Photoshop. A soft link would behave a little differently, and would make a reference to the original file pointer, so there is some way for it to understand what file extension it might have. Thanks, Ash
