 * What would cause apache to not see php files in /usr/local/www/apache24/data ??
   It doesn’t appear to be an ownership or permissions issue as both those are identical
   to index.html which is visible to apache. I’ve restarted apache umpty-zillion
   times, rebooted the computer more times than I can recall, refreshed browsers,
   tried different computers, torn hair out and still have no idea whats wrong.

 * Maybe PHP isn’t installed or not correctly configured, or it’s a PHP processor
   issue? 🙂

 * don’t suppose it’s a htacces issue,
    or an apache config.
 * if using redhat linux. it would be /usr/local/var/www/xxxxxx/data/test.php depending
   on apache config. or where ever you have document root.
 * so if it sees index.html it would also see test.html and then test.php.
 * make sure you have visible php output. echo. or print. like
    $_seeSomething =”
   text that I want to see ” ; echo $_seeSomething;
 * do you have a plugin that allows php. like ezphp for when your in wp.

 * Thanks for the responses
 * PHP is installed, note that php.info works fine
 * It sees index.html but not index.php even though httpd.conf is configured to 
   see php files
 * I’m using FreeBSD
 * I have had two tenths of stuff-all experience with PHP, consequently don’t have
   a clue what you mean by
    ‘make sure you have visible php output. echo. or print.
   like $_seeSomething = ” text that I want to see ” ;’
 * echo $_seeSomething;’
 * ….. would you kindly provide a VERY pedantic explanation ??
 * do you have a plugin that allows php. like ezphp for when your in wp.
 * Never encountered that beast … maybe its a linux thing ??
