I don't need a lesson in file permissions, thanks. Apache runs as nobody. The problem isn't trying to get apache to display test.php, it's having it display the proper 403 error page, rather than a php error when it doesn't have access to a page. Each page, test.html and test.php have the same permissions. The html page gives the expected 403 error message when I try and access it (thats what I want). The other, php script doesn't. This is a security concern for me as it reveals paths on my system in the event a page has the wrong permissions. Why does apache not server the 403 on the php page? Maybe this is better off in the apache list.

Because Apache doesn't try to open the file. And you should never have display_errors enabled on a production server. That's for development purposes. Always log your php errors to a file when you put a server online. -Rasmus
