I assume this tells apache to use the php3 module to execute scipts with the extension .php3 and .php3s? Does this negate the need to use the #! usr/bin/php3 line and the cgi-bin directory? Is it ok to change the extension to .php rather than .php3 for ease of use with the users? > or > > <IfModule mod_php4.c> > AddType application/x-httpd-php .php > AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps > </IfModule> > > If in your Apache-configuration there is a line like > > AddHandler cgi-script .php > > you should remove it and instead switch to LoadModules-Syntax. That line does not exist. Cheers for the help. Andy
