as far as i know, you must edit file apache's httpd.conf.
This is instruction for you : -http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.php

ok , I added in with the correct module and now it work after a few reboot. What i am interested to know is if I must restart linux box?

I tried to restart apache , mysql , inetd but still no luck. Its only after reboot , the php page get rendered finally...

Hopefully someone with similar experience can share some tips?
