Let me know if there is any other information needed. I had the same problem.. I searched the web for it.. but the only thing i got was people complaining about the problem.. I wrote here but didnt get a response but " Using PHP as an Apache2 module is experimental and not stable " I couldnt find out why i kept having that problem and installed an earlier version of apache and things went ok. i think simply do not using --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs suffix while configuring PHP.. i think Apache2 module thing has something wrong in it, or all of us are doing the same thing wrong. if you find and answer to this question, i'd apreciate.. thanks.. -- junkie lives.. somewhere in time --------------------------- hey sofia guy! what happened to eddie then?
