First off, it's not regarded as nice netiquette to repost to a mailing list 
after only 5 hours. After a week, maybe... but after 5 hours implies you think 
the rest of us exist merely to serve you :-)

Turning to your "problem"...

Essential info when posting:

- Apache version
- OS
- error_log entry
- access_log entry

Otherwise, we're just guessing...

Additional info:

- do you actually have PHP installed?
- is it configured correctly and working on existing URLs?

Incidentally, I'm a little bemused by this problem of "high importance" - it is 
not usual that users surf a site by typing in random URLs in the hope that they 
lead to a page. So I don't quite see what all the panic's about. The whole 
ErrorDoc scheme is about giving users some useful info when *you* inadvertently 
create a broken link on your site (happens a lot on complex sites). Also, your 
scheme of converting a 404 into a redirect to the homepage is a bit weird - how 
is anyone supposed to know something went wrong? They'll just assume your link 
leads to the homepage and get fed up  - and they won't report the broken link 
to you (users are the best thing for finding bugs on your site :-) 

I'd have a think about the whole ErrorDoc thing and try to work out exactly 
what you're trying to achieve...

Rgds,
Owen Boyle
