[PLUG] Resolving Local Web Site Access Error

[Rich Shepard]

   My development version of CMS Made Simple is in /var/www/htdocs/cmsms.
When I try to access it firefox displays a 'page not found' error.
/var/log/httpd/error_log has nothing more:

127.0.0.1 - - [04/Apr/2011:09:53:57 -0700] "GET /cmsms/index.php HTTP/1.1"
404 195

   The software suite includes httpd-2.2.17, php-5.2.17 (recompiled to
support postgres rather than mysql), postgresql-9.0.3, and
cms-made-simple-1.8.2.

   In /var/www/htdocs/ is an executable info.php that calls <?php phpinfo();
?>. But, running this results in an error:
./info.php: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ('
./info.php: line 1: <?php phpinfo(); ?>'

   Where do I start looking for the source of this error? Seems strange to me
that phpinfo() won't run.
