Re: [hobbit] OT question on a strange CGI issue

["Josh Luthman" <josh (at) imaginenetworksllc.com>]

I come across this many times with users installing PHP on their Apache
server.  This is most definitely a problem between Apache and Firefox.

If IE7's request is executing it then Firefox's request should be no
different - though you can do advanced options based on different client
types.

Try comparing the two Apache configuration files and see if there are
differences in your Directory statements.
