Michael, as far as I've seen, the ScriptAlias item only has to do directly with the httpd.conf file in this instance. Setting up the ScriptAlias is more for Apache to easily locate your PHP.EXE than it is to limit your use of php files to one particular directory. I have the standard ScriptAlias, Action and AddType lines in my httpd.conf under Apache 1.3.12, and as long as the folder can allow scripts to run, you're fine to put php files wherever you like. The ScriptAlias does not limit you in placement of php files on your server. Also, on a hunch, try putting your Action line BEFORE your AddType lines... as the Action registers a handler for a particular type, and you're trying to associate extensions to that type before it's handled. Of course, that's a guess. Try adding the ScriptAlias AND move the Action line above the AddType(s) and see what happens. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb office: LVL G1.2607 email: andy.hoffman@bms.com phone: 609-252-5788
