	Hm.  I did this  late night by going into the makefile and
	editing stuff from off to on.  What's  the  mak e cmd? Is it
	"make config"?

	I first simply did a make install clrean; it did nothing.  Then
	I did a deinstall/reinstall.  I figured THAT should've done
	_something_.

	I think I have the test.php in /usr/local/www/data/www                  
	or whatever.  Thanks for your tips.          This time I may get
	it working :-)
