Sounds to me like apache may not be loading the php5 module. This is why I asked you to get Apache to show what the server signature was returning.
I think you need to find a way to establish whether the php5 module is being loaded or not. I'm not sure if mod_info will return this. Let me ask on the httpd mailing list how to do this. I'll get back to you then. Keith In theory, theory and practice are the same; In practice they are not.
