Hi All,

thanx, John. I added that via vi and restarted with,
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
but, still get the core php code showing in the browser when going to
localhost/index.php. Should I just remove both httpd/php and reinstall
both from source with support..? Cheers.

P.S. This is not a production machine. I'm just learning all of it and
then when confident, will set up a real system. Cheers, again.
