I read a previous thread and managed to work that out!! Thanks though Nick! BTW, how come it's been working fine for about 2 months, and then fell over yesterday? They recently upgraded Apache which may explain it.... If setting the user and group in the php.ini is that important, then would it be worthwhile to put that step into the Installation docs for the future? Also, I have a problem in that I can't remove the semaphore / shared memory segment because I'm on a virtual server with a virtual root account (called 'admin'), but the semaphore / shared memory segment is owned by 'root' of the actual host of the virtual servers.....any ideas? ISP is a bit miffed with me using PHPA and it causing these problems!
