Greetings! Apparently you all were as stumped as I was as to why this did not work :)
I finally got PHP 4.2.3 running as configured on my system(phpinfo.php and phpinfo.phtml both display properly in a web browser now, all my .php pages now work properly) but I had to resort to drastic measures. I re-installed RedHat 7.2 from the ground up! This time, when I installed Apache and PHP, exactly as described in my previous post...it worked! Go figure... I still have no idea why it refused to work properly before, I did nothing different except start from a fresh install of RedHat 7.2 Just thought I would let everyone know. Thanks and Happy PHP'ing!
