By default there's no php.ini created when you install Apache. I created 
one and took settings from another NetBSD machine that runs this app 
without error and it didn't help. The box that works is Apache 1.3.x on 
NetBSD. I'm wondering whether to try downgrading Apache first or to look 
for another setting in php.ini.
