Hi there, Well I mean a new virtual website yes, all permissions are enabled for all users with PHP/MySQL enabled (Oh and it's Apache 2.0.40). I checked and all permissions are there, it parses the PHP files and outputs the HTML for standard HTML pages for him, just not any PHP. it doesn't say access denied and his IP is dynamic as he uses dialup in the UK. The thing is, it works for everyone else, I told him to try Mozilla to see if that still causes him problems, if it works with that then I can assume it's his IE settings, if not i'll have to investigate it further. I appreciate your help very much though, as sometimes the most annoying problems have the simplest solution (I'm an annoying problem but the only solution to me is to shoot me LOL :-) Chris > Chris, > > Wild guess here, but could this problem possibly be caused by your web > server configuration?
