Sorry I cant be more specific about the set-up. My knowledge of linux is limited and I didnt set-up the machine. It does run "Plesk" which is a gui server adminstration thingy. Apache will spit out the following error: "FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate -193592 bytes" The page returned will contain no data. Internet explorer 6 will say "Page cannot be displayed". Netscape 4.* will say "page contains no data". Netscape 6 will do nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18399&edit=1
