Hi i am making a virtual server to test my files localy i got apache and php and mysql working fine but i have a strange problem. if i create new files or copy files from my mounted ntfs drive to the folder /var/www/html/ they don't execute at all and all i get in the browser is blank pages. but when i upload the same files to my webserver they work with no problems. i though it is a matter if permissions i changed the permissions to 755 and 777 and it didn't work too can anyone guide me through this plz ? -- Ahmed Abdel-Aliem Web Developer www.ApexScript.com 0101108551 registered Linux user number 382789
