Running PHP NOT as > a module? You will need to use: AddType application/php-cgi .phpcgi Alias phpdir "/path/to/phpdirectory/" Action application/php-cgi "phpdir/php" Alter your file to end in .phpcgi, not .cgi .cgi is probably already taken by, errr, Perl?, and you'll just screw that up if you leave it. This definitely can be done -- I've used it to run 4 or 5 different versions of PHP simultaneously to track down a bug, using extensions like .php305 .php306 .php307 and matching AddType/Action lines. I didn't actually use Alias, but I think it's cleaner to do that. You definitely need a unique mime-type as well. You'll confuse Apache no end if you assign the same mime-types to both Module and CGI PHP. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
