Re: Apache ignoring AddType? Apache 1.3.26 + PHP 4.2.1 on FreeBSD 4.6

Thanks for the response Chris, Don't know what the problem was. I ended up stripping everything and re-configuring/compiling/installing both Apache and PHP. The only difference was that this time I used these instructions @ http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php . This setup is slightly different. It uses apxs and generates libphp4.so. Anyway, now it works.
