Thanks I understand. The INSTALL script in my port seems to be written to mod-php. But I think I know or can find what to do. As a PHP noivce I have a more general question. I want to offer PHP to virtual hosting customers. Is there a place to find a discussion of the pros and cons of the CGI binary and mod-php. I had concluded from reading that the CGI binary and suExec was the best for that environment.
