Not newbie, but stumped

Hello all... I'm dealing with a strange problem, or at least one I've never seen before. On a new server, just built this week, running RH 7.1, Apache 1.3.20, & PHP 4.0.6. All the necessary entries are in httpd.conf: DirectoryIndex index.php index.html AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3 AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps Everything's working perfectly it seems, except one thing. In each directory, the index page loads as it should, except in the root directory. For instance: http://myserver/foldera/ - loads the file index.php in that directory http://myserver/folderb/ - ditto http://myserver/ - I get prompted to download the index.php from here, rather than it being processed and displayed. Tried with/without the trailing slash, no difference. What's going on here? -- =========================================================== Press Ctrl-Alt-Del now for IQ test. ===========================================================
