Re: ming simply doesnt work...

lets say it is human factor again.
on my server there is ONLY mod_php installed (only pure mod_php for apache) and there is no presence of php installation in system. errors i was getting all the time were result of this "little problem".

so, advice for newbies: INSTALL PHP BEFORE COMPILING OF MING!! :)

tnx everybody for help!
