Jud,
Sorry but I pretty much exhausted my knowledge of PHP/Apache configuration
with that first message :). I am a newbie to Linux, Apache and PHP and
had to get help with my own install.
The only suggestion I have is to check if there are IfModule or IfDefine
statements bracketing your AddType lines. I installed the latest Apache
from a download of a few days ago, and my httpd.conf file contained quite
a few statements like this:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml
... similar line for .phps ...
</IfModule>
and then
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
</IfDefine>
So, for the PHP4 support to be loaded, at the very least you need to
define a symbol, HAVE_PHP4. I found that the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
script did this by scanning the /usr/lib/apache dir to enumerate all the
available modules, and defining a HAVE_<modulename> symbol for each,
passed to the httpd executable with the -D flag.
Now, of course if you just run the httpd program, rather than the startup
script httpd, then you will just be running the executable with no defined
symbols, and it won't load support for PHP4 and a variety of other things.
Anyway, that's my best guess -- maybe you have httpd.conf set up properly,
but you need to use the httpd startup script to start Apache in order to
get all the defined symbols right. Of course your httpd.conf and scripts
may well be different from mine but I am using all defaults with the
latest distribution so I think they would be similar.
Hope this helps...
