Maybe Apache and PHP have problems with the 2MHz-CPU. :-) I can only guess what may be the problem:
1. You didn't write phpinfo.php correctly. 2. phpinfo.php is in the wrong directory. I suggest this because if the apache-site comes up correctly and phpinfo.php does not it _might_ be a directory problem. Please try to put a test.html-file in your webserver-root and call it in your browser. Jens > I am not an advanced user but not incapable.
