LinuxQuestions.org - apache won't parse php argghgh

hi all

using apache 2 from redhat9 cd
php5.0.3 src

i really desperately need to get apache2 to parse php5 on my devserver

but it just won't parse php

this line is in the httpd.conf

Code:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

and that libphp5.so exe is where it should be

these lines are included in the httpd.conf via a file called php.conf

Code:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

</IfModule>



DirectoryIndex index.php index.php5 index.php3

php runs from the command line, so that's not the problem

bit of background
originally had php 4.3.9 running fine
tried to install php 5 parallel, didn't work, and then php4 stopped working
so i removed the apache package, and reinstalled it
then reinstalled php5, restarted apache, nothing
html is fine, but php is not, so obviously the module is not loaded correctly or something

would really appreciate if someone can give me something here
if possible using msn or mirc or something for live help would very much be appreciated

thanks
dave
