Note Submitter: john -at- jpfisher -dot- net ---- If you just can't get Apache 2.2, PHP 4 or 5 on Linux to work together: (in my case Debian Sarge or FC6 ) read this: http://www.devside.net/articles/php Even though its aimed at windows the rule is the same for Linux. Note: php.net and the default configuration in both FC6 and Debian were wrong for me. Maybe I screwed something up in httpd.conf. Maybe everybody already knows this, I dunno... Even though apache was loading the php5 module, I edited the httpd.conf file and "php index.php" issued at the command line produced good html, I still got a 500 error: "(8)Exec format error: exec of '/var/www/mydir/index.php' failed" adding this to httpd.conf fixed the problem: <IfModule php5_module> #PHPIniDir "/etc" <Location /> AddType text/html .php .phps AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps </Location> </IfModule> HTH John
