So, to install php4, you either need libapache-mod-php4, libapache2-mod-php4, or caudium-php4. The fact that apt chose the caudium route probably meant that it was an easier to satisfy dependency (guesswork - I didn't delve into that side of it. Just apt-get install php4 $webserver-php4 to get the right modules. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
