I am running RH 8.0. When I installed it, I chose the "custom" setting. That may be the problem because I didn't install a lot of the programming/development packages. I can't tell you specifically at this this as I am a work but when I get home this evening, I will install everything in that category.
I haven't tried any cgi scripts yet. I was interested in learning some php so I could add to my hosted website. It runs the e-classifeds software which is a cgi script. My goal is to convert it to a php/mysql based script. > > From: Hardy Merrill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/01/09 Thu PM 12:26:12 CST > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: PHP: Still not working! > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > > I tried that script also but had no success either.
