In the 'Action application' line, the /php4/ that appears gets substituted by whatever you had in the initial ScriptAlias line. In other words, if your scriptalias says ScriptAlias /php4/ /dir/dir/dir/ Then for Apache, the action line written as: Action application/x-httpd-php /php4/php.exe becomes effectively: Action application/x-httpd-php /dir/dir/dir/php.exe If, instead, you type the action line with the '/dir/dir/dir/', then to apache I think it pretty much ends up being meaningless gibberish since /dir/dir/dir/ has never been defined as an alias.
