Drat.  Well, thanks for the report; let's see if we can figure it out.  I
did "scrub" the RPMs and directories out between each of my three
installs; not quite the same as a fresh box but it usually helps spot
hidden dependencies.

Did you check for files of the pattern *.rpm* in /etc and /var?  Just to
make sure that all the changes the RPM makes during installation (to
httpd.conf, etc.) got applied.

Does test.php3 (or even a simple phpinfo() script) work OK, or report any
problems?

Which one, -5 from Nalin or -6 from Rawhide?  I used 4.0.3pl1 for my
testing, which works fine for all IMP functions as far as I can tell;
don't know if that's a quick option for you.  But I do want to try 4.0.4
as I have time here.

I noticed there isn't a mod_php RPM, but if you look in the php-4.0.4pl1
RPM, the .so file is in there now.  Red Hat keeps changing their mind
about whether the .so should be in a separate RPM or not; it appears they
flipped back between 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.

You mean all the directories as well?  Is it possible that some directory
along the path up to / isn't accessible by other?

And when you say "that's as far as it goes", you mean after setup you get
the local.inc or Permission denied error?

Er, did you compare your RPM list (rpm -qa) to the list in the README?
There are several things in there that are updates to the Red Hat RPMs as
shipped with 7 originally, notably MySQL, but also Apache.  They're all on
the Horde FTP site if you need them (in i386).
