Log files say nothing.  Get a blank screen.  Will attempt phpinfo() to
verify.  Did try index.php and it said that that URL did not exist even
though the file is there.

Ooops, forgot that: NT 3.5 SP6, 2.5b4.  I have not moved it since
installation.  I am just changing a file setting and then trying to
restart it.  I have check to make sure MS IS is not running it's web
service..
