thanks!

cool... it installs without a hitch now. i had to go hunting around mod_php4.c to find out the correct apache mime type... but then it started working nicely. i'll be running as many apps as I can afford time to through this thing. and if i'm feeling lucky i might run a production site on it for a day to see what happens. one thing i would put on the beta page is a BIG note about the change in .htaccess and apache config parameters. i had to go guess that php3_include_path ./:/usr/local/libphp should now be: php_value include_path ./:/usr/local/libphp and since apache was croaking on the previous one, i would assume most people would be fairly frustrated. the extended problem is that php3 & php4 don't appear to play together. so you have to commit to setting up a separate site (if you use have those pesky php3_* configuration options in your .htaccess files...) i had only been testing some command line scripts before - but after just sending a few pages through the new version, there is a noticeable performance improvement. -brian-
