In the /var/www/html/movies directory the content of .htaccess is;  (the file is automatically created during the VCDDB setup process.)

[cat .htaccess]

I don't see anything thing there that would cause this problem, but I'm a little shaky on Rewrite Rules. 

Mod_rewrite is loaded in httpd.conf;
[grep rewrite httpd.conf]
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

And for anyone else that thinks about using this in a professional environment, there is a switch to eliminate showing any of the adult options.  Personally, I would prefer to just strip them out of the program, but it is nice to be able to easily turn them off.

Thanks,
Gar

I've got an apache/drupal problem that I'm coming up empty on for how to
fix.
My OS is RHEL 4,
Apache is httpd-2.0.52-41.ent.2
Drupal is drupal5-5.15-1.el4.rf

Drupal is working fine with Apache. My problem is that I want to run VCDDB,
(http://vcddb.konni.com/) which is an external web based movie database
application. I've installed it in /var/www/html/movies, and the installation
process completed successfully. Drupal is installed in /var/www/html

My problem is that when I go to http://my.host/movies or
http://my.host/movies/ all I get is a blank screen. If I try to go to
http://my.host/movies/index.php, I get a  popup trying to download
"index.php" rather than display "index.php".

I have also installed WebCalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php), and
that does work correctly when I go to http://my.host/calendar

I suspect this is a Drupal issue, since VCDDB was running fine when I was
using a manually coded html web site (rather than Drupal),but I'm not sure.
If could be an Apache thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Gar
