=>Your php file does not need to be in a CGI directory, it should be able
=>to work anywhere on your webserver by default.

=>PHP "just works" if you install the correct RPMs, IIRC.  You did install
=>the Fedora distro packages for PHP, right?  Because that is the way to
=>go rather than installing PHP by hand from somewhere else.
=>
=>yum install php
=>
=>When you're set up right, you should have a file
=>/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf which sorts out all the apache config for php.
=>
=>Don't forget
=>
=>service httpd restart
=>
=>after making any changes or installing any httpd-related packages.

I appreciate the pointers. It turns out that I needed to upgrade my 
httpd.conf against the httpd.conf.rpmnew that I was not using. I have now 
done so and everything seems to work ok. Except that my phpinfo.php still 
behaves exactly the same as described above.

It is Core 3, all installed from RPMs.

I just need a clue where to start. Anyone? Would it help if I made my conf 
files available? I made the httpd.conf available at 
http://steveo.syslang.net/httpd.conf

Thanks.
