If so, I'd guess there is some php stuff that did not get installed. Can you list the php related packages, something like 'dpkg -l |grep php'. A generic Ubuntu install should "just work" (assuming all the php stuff is installed). -- Hal -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
