AddModule mod_php4.c you don't need the "Action application/..." Line! Cause the Action meen that this extern program is called as a CGI. With the modul version this functionality is bundeld into apache itself. Might be confusing for Apache what he should do, call CGI and/or the modul. If you wish to use the CGI version (not recommed) then you have to specify the Path of the Action correctly. To do this you need also a line like: ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Files/PhP/" so that apache know where the directory "/php/" is, so that it looks like: ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/Files/PhP/" ... AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe" Than you don't need the LoaModule & AddModule lines ! Comment it out like: # LoadModule php4_module C:/PHP/SAPI/PHP4APACHE.DLL ... # AddModule mod_php4.c But the better way is to use the modul version !!! hope this will help, regards, G.Lohmann -- @ Goetz Lohmann, Germany | Web-Developer & Sys-Admin \/ ------------------------------------------------------ () He's the fellow that people wonder what he does and || why the company needs him, until he goes on vacation.
