Have you uncommented the `LoadModule php5_module

Yes, he has, since phpinfo.php works.

William, I don't immediately understand why phpinfo.php would work but your 
hello.php wouldn't work. Try to reduce the number of differences between the 
files until you either make hello.php work or phpinfo.php fail. For example, 
put them in the same directory. Or try to replace the content of one of the 
files with the content of the other file: what happens?

Check the Apache error log. There might also be a separate PHP error log, if 
you've set it up that way. If you still get a blank page in the browser, see if 
the View Source command in the browser shows anything.

What is the url of this file?
Is the file extension .php?

 modules/libphp5.so` at line 117 in httpd.conf?

If the phpinfo.php test works then this should not be the problem.

Duh … 

My default umask is 077 :)

a+r was the problem.  (both the working and non-working files were in the same 
directory so the path was ok.)

What threw me completely was that I was looking for 404 errors in the access 
log, and instead was getting 500s.

I guess  that's one I'll have to remember.

Thanks!

strange behavior - PHP question...
