Hi
Using Drupal 4.6 which has been running happily in a Dreamhost shared hosting environment.
We just changed to a Go Daddy virtual server. We copied our Drupal install over there successfully but for some reason we can't run any PHP scripts from the Drupal install directory.
When we remove Drupal, we can run scripts again.
We thought it might be the Drupal .htaccess messing things up but can't see any directive that would.
Anyone else had this type of problem?

hi,
Can you give some more info about the server environment (Server OS, webserver, php version etc... )

PS. first check that your webserver has enough permissions to run the php files...

I'm running Drupal on a server configured to that of GoDaddy and may be able to help. As has been mentioned, more information is really needed.
Some questions to get you started in the right direction... Any chance you are running the server with PHP as a CGI and not an apache module? Are you using PHPSUEXEC? Using phpinfo() would give you some of the information. If you remove the Drupal .htaccess does Drupal then run?

Thanks, it was an .htaccess

Been there, done that.
Been there, done that. Amazing how many different server configurations there can be out there!

godaddy hosting
I just setup a shared Linux hosting account with godaddy (should have searched here first) I like the price .... but
I have a test site of drupal 4.7.2 up and running
It seems there are 2 problems with godaddy and drupal:
I don't have good access to MYSQL and can't LOCK TABLES -- I have pretty low volume sites so I don't see that as a huge problem.. but I don't understand why the code is written to lock and not directly use the sequence (I am not technical enough to figure that one out...)
I can't get clean urls to work... I "assume" it is something with the htaccess but I can't figure what the problem is ... mod rewrite works because I am get parts of the config to work.... redirecting to not use the "www" of the domain name http://www.sarasotawebdev.org will show that works.. of course it worked fine on my other webhost ...
godaddy uses:
mysql 4.0.24
apache 1.3.33
php 5.1.4
I don't want to just say godaddy sucks and cancel my account .... there seem to be lots of others that could benefit from getting this documented
