Yeah! Hehe. I feel like such a noob. I can not believe I did not think of that first. Lol. Here is what phpinfo() had to say: Server API: CGI/FastCGI Virtual Directory Support: disabled Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini And I just got this response from DH today: "... Yes...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are running php as CGI. ..." Very nice of them to respond so fast... Very friendly reply. Seems like a great host if you are not as concerned about up-time/down-time and are on a tight budget.

It works fine for me, but I'm only using DreamHost as the back-end of an N-tier audio server for a web-site that doesn't actually live on dreamhost.

Ahh. I see.

Actually, dreamhost is only the primary, and there's a fail-safe roll-over to another box if dreamhost goes down. (again)

Ahhhhhhh, hehe. Good call on the backup server. I have never built a big enough site to where I needed a backup server "just in case." Probably a very good idea though. :) Thanks fo ryou reply Richard, I greatly appreciate the help!
