Cheers Stu hiya, and thanks for helping out I really appreciate it. I have tried millions of combinations now for all the kppp settings in kde and still the same error is coming up:- "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly" The debug file reports the folowing:- "localhost pppd[625] The remote system is required to authenticate itself but localhost pppd [625] counldnt find any secret (password) which would let it use an IP address." I have tried a manual login script as well and the same error occurs. I also used the terminal button in the modem device setup and called the speaking clock so I know the modem works. === MESSAGE 2 === Subject: Re: [alug] Dial up dilema...

"The pppd daemon died unexpectedly"

AFAIR this happens because you have a line in /etc/ppp/options with 'lock' kppp does its own locking, it used to be OK to have an empty options file.

I've just seen this: http://www.PenguinMagazine.com/Magazine/This_Issue/0010 which takes you through the Apache/PHP/MySQL install process. Good timing that :-)

James.

Thank-you, using the above it now works and I can now start to learn php/mysql. I'm still playing around with compiling php from source and found the argument to compile it as an apache module to be (on my Redhat 6.0 machine): ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs ... And i've just now got the php source code to compile correctly (with mysql, dbase, etc) database support and it's working with Apache. Yippee! Thanks again for your help. Ashley Dr. Ashley T.
