Please check this FAQ entry,
http://www.dew-code.com/content/view/14/25/

it has 3 variations of the line that tells Apache to run the "directory" file as a PHP script. If none of them work, I can only suggest contacting your hosting provider, and it'd be nice to get the variation they prefer from you, so I can add it to the FAQ entry.

I have installed the latest version of PHPlinks on a shared hosting site at AwardSpace.

I checked all the entries in this forum and tried all the suggestions, but none solved the issue.

I also contacted the hosting provider to see whether they can change the httpd.config file, but they said they would not.

Is there a reason why the .php suffix has been left off the directory file, and is there any alternative to making these modifications?

What is the error you get a 500 or a 404?

Often it is necessary to edit the included .htaccess file but many servers are set to only re-reread .htaccess files periodically so you may need to wait up to 5 minutes after every edit

<Files directory>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
#SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
#SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
#ForceType x-httpd-php
</Files>

So if the first Forcetype line doesn't work, disable it and enable the next one

<Files directory>
#ForceType application/x-httpd-php
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
#SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5
#ForceType x-httpd-php
</Files>

if after 5 minutes a test still fails try the next "SetHandler" line

The directory file as you know is a PHP script that lacks the .php extension. Because of this you can make URLs appear more static, because you don't need to have ?blah=blah&something=somewhere in the URL, the script can understand a fictitious directory structure and generate the appropriate content by parsing the URL of the request eg; /directory/cool.html

Thanks, I'll re-try with more time in between tests and advise...

The error page says 500.html, but it appears that your .htaccess file sends both errors to this page.
