Thanks - I think I'm getting there. The server uses some kind of templating
system to generate the configuration files, and I think it is that system
which is broken (some new templates are using some features which aren't
properly implemented). One day I'll get around to reinstalling the latest
server version from scratch and migrating the data...(now, I wish I had
started down that track two days ago - the cost of a few new disks would
have have been well worth it to save several days of trying to work out what
is going wrong). Ah well, live a learn...

PS I've got the php module to load now, just need to get it to handle
PHP-extension scripts.
