[NTLUG:Discuss] Newbie question re: apache2, php, etc

[Fred]

Ok, I've had some time to hammer on this problem a bit more and 
what I have gotten is a headache ;-)

I see that the mime type is included, as suggested and the Directory
definition includes

<Directory "/home/*/public_html">
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
</Directory>

although I'm not sure why it needs "/home/*/public_html".
It also has 
<Directory /srv/www>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

because it is there where the different domains are located.
Whatever...

I have looked at various config files for both apache2 and php5
and I am at the point where I need to work with someone who
knows this subject, since I obviously do not. I am totally willing
to act as a semi-intelligent remote for troubleshooting... it anyone
would be willing to get involved in directing me it would be
welcomed. It would be even better if that direction were in some
more immediate mode, like texting or an actual phone call
instead of the mind-numbing slowness of an online forum.

Thanks,
Fred
