Hi Troy, Thanks for the ideas. You got me going again. I better explain as I might be on the wrong track again. The httpd error_log did not have any pertinent messages. In fact, it did not record my attemps after reading your message. So,...there was nothing wrong wrt apache. Retrying the php files, I was surprised to see date.php work and then not work. I'm embarrassed to explain that it worked when I keyed the address into the browsers location window: http://localhost/~ja/php/date.php but not when I navigated to the file. In that case, the loc bar showed: file:///home/ja/public_html/php/date.php I was acting like I would with html files, sometimes using the loc bar; sometimes using file, open, navigate; sometimes using bookmarks. I should have picked up the differences much earlier. More humility training. Re permissions, I'll try 644. Been using 755. Again, thanks for getting me to look at it from a different angle.
