Trying to use Magento shopping cart..
Switched on php5 as Magento needs Php 5.2.0 and installed (downloaded, unzipped and uploaded) Magento.
Tested for php5 as below, but failed ..
Then downloaded file "php5-cgi" from their site
http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/php5cgi/php5-cgi and placed it in
/public_html/cgi-bin/, changed permissions to 755, and pointed to binary using
Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php5-cgi
AddHandler php5-cgi .php
in
/magento/.htaccess.
Then checked php5 (according to
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/welcome_to_the_magento_user_s_guide/chapter_2/..
Bad location to the PHP5 binary: Make sure the AddHandler directive in your .htaccess file is pointing to the correct location
for the PHP5 binary. You can often test it by trying to surf to the location with your web browser. For example, if your site is www.example.com
and your PHP5 location is /cgi-bin/php5-cgi , try visiting http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/php5-cgi with your web browser.
If you see an “Internal Server Error” message, then that means your PHP5 binary is in the correct location.
If you get a “File not found” message, then this is not the correct location.

Php5 not working .. ("File not found" message).
Changed .htaccess in root (/public_html): "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php"
Php5 still not working ..
Used "/usr/local/php5/bin/php-cgi" in /magento/.htaccess from
http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Special_Server_PathsPhp5 still not working ..
Have searched forum but none of handful of posts ( on Magento , or Magento install ) show anything useful..
Wondering if I'm missing something ( to switch on php5). Can't quite go on to the next step ... which is download using downloader/installer without
getting this step done ..
Appreciate pointers/suggestions to try ..
