thanks for the quick responses.

1) No I did not compile php myself.  It is the compiled version that 
came with Fedora.
2) Yes I restarted httpd and at your request I even restarted the 
computer.  No luck.
3) I created a script in gedit that had just  <?php phpinfo(); ?> with 
no luck.  I then put a line of plain text under it in the script, and 
the text showed up in the browser window, so I know it is a php problem.
4) Problem happens as both root and user.

Any additional help appreciated.
