Apache uses a configuration file. Within that configuration file you can assign application types and script handlers. That is the place to handle the problem. You do not have to install an Apache specific module. The Apache modules make things run much more quickly, by partially implementing the language within the server, however it is still possible to use without the specific modules. Simply make sure the CGI module is loaded. If you have perl scripts that run properly, then odds are you have everything you need installed to make PHP run properly as long as you set the right options in the config file. This is of course assuming you have PHP installed. Check out the FAQ on the PHP web site, or the Apache web site. Both sites have information on getting PHP running. :) Package managers are great, but some things can be handled in a text editor. ^_^ ---- Kenneth M. Burling Jr -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
