  3. My PHP pages are displayed in plain text
  4. My CGI are not working anymore
  5. I can't submit any data using a HTML form anymore

  1. I installed the module but the bandwidth isn't limited

    You should make sure that the "master" and "link" directories exist and are read,write,execute for the user under which the server run.

    By default, mod_bandwidth use :
    /tmp/apachebw/master
    /tmp/apachebw/link

    If you set a limit inside a "Directory" block, you should make sure that the path is really the one used to serve documents.

  2. It worked fine the first time but now the server is very slow

    Make sure that there isn't and "dead" links in the mod_bandwidth "link" directory when you start the server. It's better to run the "cleanlink.pl" utility we provide.

  3. My PHP pages are displayed in plain text

    If your PHP pages are displayed correctly when the module isn't activated but are sent in plain text when you try to use mod_bandwidth, that's probably because mod_bandwidth is called before the PHP module.

    Please, read the documentation to see how to give the lowest priority to mod_bandwidth so that it will be executed last.
