For changing one account it's not much work at all.

However, when one is changing a Server full of accounts that were previously using PHP as an Apache Module, much more needs to be done and that is what I was referring to.

As you know, the following has to be applied to all accounts.

- change all files & directories owned by 'nobody' to the individual username
- change all directories with 'whatever' permissions to 755
- change all files with 'whatever' permissions to 644 : except *.cgi & *.pl of course
- remove from within all .htaccess files, Apache directives related to PHP
- various cleanup here 'n there

Having done this myself, I know it is a big job but one needs to make sure things are done right else Web sites will not work.
