Thanks Graeme

I added a php.conf to /etc/apache2/conf.d/ as set out in your email
and started apache and got this

[Tue Apr 03 12:31:22 2007] [warn] module php5_module is already
loaded, skipping [Tue Apr 03 12:31:22 2007] [notice] Apache/2.2.3
(Debian) PHP/5.2.0-10 configured -- resuming normal operations

I then tried to load the website with
http://localhost;80/exodus.benden.pern/index.php

and got these error messages-

[Tue Apr 03 12:31:30 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning:
pg_connect() [<a href='function.pg-connect'>function.pg-connect</a>]:
Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: fe_sendauth: no password
supplied in /var/www/exodus.benden.pern/settings/settings.php on line
34 [Tue Apr 03 12:31:30 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP

PostgreSQL link opened yet
in /var/www/exodus.benden.pern/settings/settings.php
on line 35 benden:/etc/apache2/sites-available#

settings.php has among other things

//db parameters
    $host = "localhost";
    $dbname = "exodus";
    $username = "jayell";
//    $password = "";

and

// application path
    $app_path = "/var/www/exodus.benden.pern"; 

These are parameters I set up and may well be incorrect, the database
'exodus' seems to be setup OK if the following dialog is anything to
go by

jayell@benden:~$ psql exodus
Welcome to psql 8.1.8, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
       \h for help with SQL commands
       \? for help with psql commands
       \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
       \q to quit

exodus=>

so it looks as though I may at last have got apache2 working but the
next step is missing
