Correct ... it tells files ending with '.php3' are handled as 'application/x-httpd-php3' and this MIME-Type is registered to PHP while PHP module is loaded. >> If in your Apache-configuration there is a line like >> >> AddHandler cgi-script .php AL> That line does not exist. Quite good ... But now there would be the question what Apache told to try to execute .php3 files as CGI? No worry, that also does not matter anymore as you've configured to use internal module instead of 'external' cgi ... AL> Cheers for the help. You're welcome :-) One thing left: running PHP as module executes PHP-Scripts as user Apache is running!!! If you _need_ to execute them with a different UID you _have to_ use CGI or change the UID Apache is running with! Ciao Pit -- Best regards, Peter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
