RE: [PHP-INST] php on server without root access

If you want apache to handle it then you need access to configure apache for php. You can have cgi scripts that access you php executable then pass that information to your html page. However, you will not be able to use apache for this...

The server already has apache (without php). Several companies are using this (virtual web hosting) and I do not want to touch apache itself. I meant to specify that I want php as a cgi in my home directory (no write access outside it) but did not make that very clear. There is no compiler so no "make" possible. I have done a compilation on my computer (in a directory that is a copy of the one on the server I want php to end up on). It works on my computer, I've tar'ed it up, ftp'd across and untar'd it there. Added php.ini and .htaccess but the best I have so far is an "internal server error" reported. Probably some library dependency due to different versions or locations. Thanks for your help, everyone. Tomorrow is another day. Regards Chris José A.
