Right, I've found what happens, but not why... I took a copy of the Apache site config when it was broken, and working and ran a diff (please note, the site alias change lines are not really relevant)


[root at server vhosts]# diff site4 /root/phpfail/site4

It looks like the entire WebScripting section is missing! It does the same for suPHP sites too:


[root at server vhosts]# diff site4 /root/phpfail/site4

[root at server vhosts]# 

I've had a look in /usr/sausalito/conf/base/apache/Apache.conf and I *think* the handler should be running. My knowledge of this area is somewhat sketchy though. Perhaps Michael may have some input as to what's called and when. To me it looks like webscripting.pl (or webscripting2.pl ?..) isn't being called for some reason, so this section isn't making it to the config file.
