** also, I put in the location for the "loadmodule" for libphp4.so and I know that it exist's but it's just not working... should i just reinstall apache and php4?

Ok, I think I am definately fed up with this. I just reinstalled apache and php and it seemed to go over well. Now when I add the loadmodule linphp4.so, there is no php4 module in my system. I checked and it doesn't exist. I'm really loosing patience since I commented that out just to have my server running and now I get an error saying something about "order" being spelled wrong.

wow, thanks, that solved ALL my problems! thank you so much for posting that. there were howerver a few things i had to fix. For one, the line he tells you to add at the end of your httpd.conf contains a path with libexec, which doesnt exist. I changed libexec to modules and it works great now i couldnt get ssl, or any of the php pacakages working on the final php compile, so i just left them out. Everything works, and i can connect to the mysql server now if my friggin windows xp system would burn a cd right so i could get my files and databases on my server.. after 10 tries, each a different way, i still cant get it to burn a cd thats readable in ANYTHING, even windows xp, much less redhat.. i cant wait till i have the time to get xp off of there, *yuck*

Just posting to let you guys know that the fine people at http://arstechnica.com solvced my problem. I used their IRC chat and spent 4 hours installing "APT" and removing all my installed versions and rpm's and just apt-get the newer one. Works perfect!
