    Could someone tell me where I've gone wrong - I'm clearly missing
    something. This is a setup which had been working for quite a while, but
    its been weeks since I've used it, and Im not sure whats changed. Im
    running debian unstable, with apache2 (prefork) and libapache2-mod-php4

    When I try browse to a php file served by my apache2 setup I get error
    500, with the message "Premature end of script headers:
    phpinfo.php" (where phpinfo.php is the script with the content
    <?phpinfo.php?>).

    /var/log/apache2/error.log tells me the user is not allowed to run
    scripts.

    If it try it from /home/*/public_html - same error, but in log file the
    message is that "script is not in document root"

    As far as I can tell from the apache2 documentations is that the error
    "Premature end of script headers" relates to cgi - afaik, using mod_php4
    is _not_ using cgi - correct? There are AddType Application clauses for
    php, but no php clause agains and AddHandler directives.

    AFAIK all the permissions on directories are ok - I can su to www-data
    and go to any script thats giving me grief and execute it with the
    command line php <scriptname> with no problem, so I guess its in my
    apache2 configuration.

    Im going out of my mind with this - I don't think its actally a prob
    with the default debian config as after googling for a while I seem to
    be be only one in this same scenario - any ideas, anyone?

    thanks
    Glenn
