Hi, I am asking this question because when I give a "script alias" for the php script the server gives 500 Interval Server Error while trying to execute the script.But when i don't give script alias and try to execute it in htdocs directory it executes perfectly. When I asked my colleague, he told me that php scripts are basically html files. Therefore, the script alias won't work for php scripts.

    I want to know if this statement is correct. If not, how do I

initialize a script alias for the php scripts. Thanks Manas

You may have to tell the script where the php parser is kinda like you have to do with a perl script. I am not sure of all of that but I did run into a server like that last tuesday on my design adventure for a client. Very hard to work with and the set cookie function does not work. #! /usr/bin/blabla/php is somewhat i have to put at the top of each script (really annoying) Regards, Ian LeBlanc Senior Internet Technician Rask, Inc. - www.rask.com Phone: (727) 517-2000 Fax: (727) 517-2001
