1. Install Apache yum -y install httpd 2. Install PHP yum -y install php php-cli php-mysql once the above is done start Apache (httpd) service httpd start you can go to the following directory to upload all your php files cd /var/www/html/ for the default file name it "index.php", so when you type http://[ip address of your server]/ it will open the above "index.php" file, if you type http://[ip address of your server]/myfile.php then it will run/open the file myfile.php in the directory "/var/www/html" cheers RB -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
