Hi Todd, Just received your message today (Feb 1st!). In the meantime, I dumped the LM8.0 versions of Apache/PHP and tried source. Not much better.
Anyway, I re-installed LM8.0 versions and, yes, in commonhttpd.conf there are those lines which I uncommented. Now, either as user or root, with the test file in /var/www/html, I still get text. So, how did you activate php? What did you do if you wanted to run a test to see if it was working? Where did you do it from (and did you try as user with permissions to the group apache? What should I expect to see? Unfortunately, I've trashed Netscape's mime-types after trying manually to insert the type: whenever I try a php file, it asks me where I want to save it. If only I could remember where I deleted entries like that in Netscape . . . :> This has gone beyond an obsession. I've sort of lost track exactly why I want php installed, if the installtion causes so much grief, what about when it's in use? Anyway, thanks for the tip. If you've got any other suggestions to get this php thing php-ing, I I love to hear them!
