Is this your own server that you have complete access to, or is it an ISP machine?
If you are running Apache under your own personal user account, where are you putting your website pages? Are they under your personal home directory as well? If so, it may be that php is not configured to pull documents from that directory. What are these two directives set to, in your php.ini? doc_root string PHP's "root directory" on the server. Only used if non-empty. If PHP is configured with safe mode, no files outside this directory are served. If PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you should set doc_root if you are running PHP as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS). The alternative is to use the cgi.force_redirect configuration below. user_dir string The base name of the directory used on a user's home directory for PHP files, for example public_html .
