Hi Steve, Well that option has been fully explored: I installed everything! Still no go. I just received my LM8.0 Update disk today and dumped my original config, reloaded everything, and I was very surprised to find the http.conf file exactly like the one that has the missing AddType lines.
I didn't bother with the update disk -- I've already downloaded the Apache binary and have source PHP 4.1.1. This version of Apache has the "AddType" lines that can be uncommented. Now it seems to be more of a question of permissions for the php files. (At least I've seen the run-tests.php in action!) I don't know what was messed up with the stock LM8.0 config, but my guess, from examining the updates, is that PHP had caused a problem. I seem to luck-in with these no-go installations ! Anyway, It's been a great learning experience! (This is terribly excellent fun! Much better than the boring "...has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down." At least this way I can mess it up some more! :>) Thanks for your suggestion.
