Hi Luis, You are running PHP as a CGI, which is what I've been doing for about 3 years now with no problems. Now I am trying to use a piece of Open Source software which is written entirely in PHP, but the install bit fails and I was told this was because PHP has to run as a module. For me for some reason editing the httpd.conf didn't seem to work, so eventually I deleted it, took the httpd_default.conf file saved that as httpd.conf, added the lines from the PHP manaul for a module and now it all works. More importantly some of the scripts I've written are quite complex, I've tested the most complex ones and they are all still working as well. Thanks to everyone who replied for the help they provided.
