I cd'd into that directory and did > a ./configure --with-interbase=/opt/interbase > --with-apache=/usr/include/apache Are you sure the entire Apache source code is in /usr/include/apache? I believe you wanted --with-apxs rather than --with-apache. If you really wanted --with-apache, and you know the difference, then you will also need to cd into the apache source directory, and configure apache with --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a, then make and install Apache again. Using --with-apache builds PHP as a static module. --with-apxs builds PHP as a DSO -- a shared module that can be loaded and unloaded via httpd.conf using the LoadModule directive. If you use --with-apxs, when configuring PHP, after you make install, it will install a PHP module in your *current* Apache install's modules directory, and it may attempt to update your httpd.conf with the correct LoadModule line if needed. > After quite a period, I received a "Thank you for using PHP" message.

That's because PHP isn't installed as an Apache module yet, or you haven't rebuilt Apache yet. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!
