Having virtually no experience with CGI installations of PHP, I wouldn't really make a call on that. My preference for the module stems from habits towards using modularity wherever possible and logical. :) > > Web root: /web/www.mydomain.com/webhome > > BTW, where does one make the change is he wants to have its root as > > Web root: /web/www.mydomain.com/home or whatever? In the case of a virtual host in Apache, it would be done in the VirtualHost directive, often in the httpd.conf. For example a virtual host template may look something like this: <VirtualHost www.mydomain.com> ServerName www.mydomain.com ServerAlias web.mydomain.com ServerAdmin sysadmin@mydomain.com DocumentRoot /web/www.mydomain.com/webhome <Directory /web/www.mydomain.com/webhome> # Whatever directory restrictions may apply </Directory> #ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /web/www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin <Directory /web/www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin> # Whatever directory restrictions may apply </Directory> CustomLog /web/www.mydomain.com/logs/access_log ErrorLog /web/www.mydomain.com/logs/error_log LogLevel warn php_value include_path /web/phpglobal:/web/www.mydomain.com/php php_value </VirtualHost> Matt
