php as an Apache module vs as a cgi executable? Specifically, I'm

Easy with Apache [1,2], with en ErrorDocument [1] directive.

we need to run php under another user account as we are setting up a

php-cgi+suexec for this. fastcgi may be an alternative and we are just

Without seeing your code... only one guess: what are the permissions on

you're running it as the user under which the web server is running

Hi David--
If that is the issue then I would suggest looking into the suexec module
for Apache...as long as you're very careful with the permissions, you
should be fine!
Also, my reference to the code was more a caveat than anything else.
In your case, if the script was working from the sell,
We have some cases where we run PHP as a standalone executable for scripting
certain processes that can be called from CRON, and we also have PHP for
Apache. Does the php.ini affect both? Specifically script times?

Sometimes.

I have installed the CGI version of PHP and customized Apache's

Since I only need (and want) a few php scripts to be available on this

The solution ended up being the need to re-compile php with the

"#!/usr/local/bin/php" line from the top of the file.
Thanks for the feedback.
