NP, sorry about that, here it is, but everything else appears to be fine up
until that stage.

# PHP 4.3.9: ok
# PHP server API is apache2handler; ok, using pretty URLs
(index.php/Page_Title)
# Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support.
# PHP's memory_limit is 8M. If this is too low, installation may fail!
Attempting to raise limit to 20M... ok.
# Have zlib support; enabling output compression.
# Found GD graphics library built-in, image thumbnailing will be enabled if you
enable uploads.
# Installation directory: /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/masa
# Script URI path: /masa

directory, or that the default temp dir (/tmp) exists and is writable.

PHP safe mode is off, since I needed that for Gallery in the same domain.

I can provide the appropriate PHP configuration info if that helps.

They attempted to ensure that apache had access etc to the tmp directory, as
indicated in the email that I provided the URL for in the first post.
