I did set my php.ini file in the etc dir and it worked fine. But there was no mysql listed when I did a phpinfo.php page. So more specifically, when I ude my php.ini file i have globals on but mysql_connect failures When I don't use php.ini files I get globals set to off and mysql access in ref. to .htaccess when I put and .htaccess in a dir and make and enable httpd.conf to use htaccess it errors in the http_perl.conf and if I try to edit my vhost config file with the php_value "register_globals" "1" or php_flag "register_globals" "on" it failes when i restart my web seerver in the httpd-perl.conf file Frank --- John Nichel <jnichel@by-tor.com> wrote: > Frank Tudor wrote: > <snip> > >>It worked like a charm....but guess what.
