Presumably this must be the user/group who owns the PHP files in question?

Thanks - yes, these were detritus from the original config.  I'll remove th=

I suspect this is where the real problem is.  Unfortunately on this particu=
lar
server I have to compile the PHP binary from source (it's not
centos/debian/etc where I can simply yum install php-cgi/apt-get install
php-cgi, etc).

So, for PHP-5.3.3 source, how do I compile it to 'talk' the fastcgi protoco=
l? =

Is it different to standard CGI?  Sadly, php 5.3.3 does not seem to have a
--with-fastcgi directive for ./configure).  Is there a fastcgi patch or
something for PHP 5.3.x?

Thanks
