Re: Apache, PHP and Postgresql

["Luke Maurits" <lmaurits%gmail.com@localhost>]

Thanks for that.  It turned out that the web server was indeed using
an old binary.  I had uninstalled an older version of PHP and then
installed a newer one.  I restarted apache after this, and numerous
times while trying to figure out what was going on, but apache kept
reporting it was using the old version.  In the end all I had to do
was actually stop apache and then start it again - this loaded the new
binary and everything worked a treat.  I guess I shouldn't have
assumed that a restart was sufficient to take care of a change like
that.

Thanks again,
Luke
