found out what my problem was, didnt have to do with the php at all. it had to do with the version of the script I had versus the license number.

The default PHP on Fedora Core 4 is php-5.0.4. The package provides a file /usr/bin/php. The path to the binary is /usr/bin, and the executable binary is /usr/bin/php.

If you do not have this file, you might have an older version of PHP, or you are using non-standard paths, or your installation went wrong at some point.

When you run whereis php in shell, you get no results? You may need to run updatedb in shell as the root user once first, so it caches the file paths on your system for whereis. (Note: updatedb takes a while to process, but you only need to do it once every so often.)

Post the results of your whereis search here.

Redhat Linux Fedora 4?

Any idea which distribution of Linux? Different ones will use different commands to search and install packages, which you may need to...

yep i have shell access. I tried some of your suggestions and came up empty. the server is running apache and linux

phpinfo didn't look helpful on my machines.

Let's establish if you have shell access first. Do you have shell access?

If you do not have direct shell access, are you able to use the "Command shell" in Webmin? (Assuming this is your Webmin account -- if not, is there an equivalent facility in you control panel?)

Secondly, what OS/distribution are you on?

ok, i've tried the suggestions you both made and I'm not having much luck. I have looked over the phpinfo over and over trying to see if I could find the right path but lol i just dont know what I'm looking for. Could I show you the phpinfo page via PM or something?

Also, what OS and distribution are you on? In Debian GNU/Linux, for instance, you'll have to install the php4-cli or php5-cli package to get the binary.
