Make a file: # echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" >/var/www/html/phpinfo.php View it in your browser: <http://case/phpinfo.php> If it works, it has lots of good info including the PHP version. I see from another response that you appear to have PHP installed, but you might do a "rpm -q php" just to be sure. The php RPM installs a file /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf that loads the PHP module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp?.so without requiring changes /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
