I have been using apache, PHP and mysql for years with no problems. I
just suffered a computer crash and my backup failed, so I had to
reinstall. However, now I have a problem. I tried "pkg_add -r php5"
and the latest PHP5 from www.php.net(www.php.net used to work, but that
was before php5 existed). If I access phpinfo() with my browser, it
fails. When I try to run a PHP script, I get the error:
>cgi error:

I didn't get the 404 error, so I think my script exits. When I typed
PHP -i,
I received 4 pages of HTML code. This means PHP works. I tried
phpinfo() from
my browser and still nothing. I have been fighting this for 3 weeks and
reinstalled many times. I tried this on FreeBSD-5.4, 6.1 and 6.2. All
three
operating systems produce the same result.
I found out that apache runs in a jail and uses chroot. I added the
directory
it says and still nothing.
This is where I get stuck. Thanks in advance for any help.
