After compiling PHP 4.0.4pl1 with 

./configure" \
	--prefix=/usr \
	--with-config-file-path=/usr/lib" \
	--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14 \
	--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
	--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql \
	--with-gd \
	--with-jpeg-dir \
	--with-t1lib \
	--with-ttf \
	--with-mhash \
	--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
	--with-curl \
	--with-imap=../imap-2000a \
	--with-mm \
	--with-zlib \
	--with-bz2 \
	--enable-gd-imgstrttf \
	--enable-track-vars \
	--enable-magic-quotes \
	--enable-trans-sid \
	--enable-sockets \
	--enable-ftp \
	--enable-bcmath \
	--enable-calendar \
	--with-gnu-ld

and then making and installing into Apache_1.3.14, and running it, when tring to include("URL"); or include("localpath?test=test"); it will give the result of "Error No Data Sent".

also

when in docs/test/ and tring to include a file like this. include("../test2/test/php"); it will fail and cannot find the file.

in the configuration (php.ini) there is a allow_url_fopen = On. and in phpinfo it says allow_url_fopen local value of '1' and a master value of '1'. This is a stock php.ini (except the error_log was set to a file and the requirted changes for 'imp/horde'. Other than that it is the stock config.

the system is Glibc 2.1.3, Linux Kernel 2.4.

any help with this is greatly appriciated.

thanks
