The reason Daniel isn't spelling it out for you in black and white is because he wants you to learn. Copy-pasting what someone tells you teaches you nothing. :-)
Secondly, the syntaxes you're being given and are using are flat out wrong. You need to pay more attention to what you're doing and read some documentation (Apache and suPHP both). For every handler-name entry in the [handlers] section of suphp.conf, you need to tell the mod_suphp Apache module what handler-name to associate itself with (so PHP will interpret the data). You also have to tell Apache what file extension to map to what handler-name. For example, this would spawn the php5-cgi binary interpreter via suPHP when Apache sees requests for a .php5 extension: suphp.conf: [handlers] i-like-rice=php:/usr/bin/php5-cgi httpd.conf: suPHP_Engine on AddHandler i-like-rice .php5 suPHP_AddHandler i-like-rice Now, STOP RIGHT HERE and read those lines VERY CAREFULLY. Notice how many parameters suPHP_AddHandler is being given, and where the file extension is being defined. Just slow down and read them over a few times. I also urge people to use actual MIME types in their suphp.conf and httpd.conf, as AddHandler falls under mod_mime, and that makes me often wonder if you need a real MIME type and not just a string... suphp.conf: [handlers] application/x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php5-cgi httpd.conf: suPHP_Engine on AddType application/x-httpd-php .php suPHP_AddHandler application/x-httpd-php Finally, this is not a "Linux" thing. You're working with two specific pieces of software: suPHP and Apache. Neither of these are Linux, as they both can run on BSD, Solaris, IRIX, or even Windows. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
