Hi, >From what you have said i would say the problem is related to the apache module. It would also be nice if you could give us some more information like an apache error log or the relative parts of it. Does php need to be loaded as a module, if not you could probuly parse php to cgi as it seems to work from the command line. todo that all you will need todo is ... build php with --enable-cgi --enable-force-cgi-redirect --enable-fastcgi copy ./sapi/cgi/php from the php prefix to the cgi-bin of the webserver e.g. /usr/local/httpd/cgi-bin/php then add the following lines to the httpd.conf AddType application/x-httpd-php php Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php The AddType line can be extended to contain all the file extensions that you need to parse through php. also sorry if this has already been talked about, i was going to sent it last night but my internet connection broke just before i hit the send button and i have to run off now so i dont have time to read all the replys.
