php installation problem

Hi all, I am trying to run php on apache. I am using the following: - Redhat 6.0 - PHP4 source - apache 1.3.12 source I successfully compiled and installed both (php-module option). I copied php.ini file to /usr/local/lib. Uncommented the line: #AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. The problem is that when I put a test PHP file in the ht-docs directory, apache fails to understand its contents (prompt me to save the file!). Also when I try to run any CGI-BIN script from that directory (/cgi-bin/) I get 'forbidden' message! I read that apache does not allow root to execute cgi-acripts so I tried normal account, same problem. any ideas???? thanks in advance Sherief Send your favorite photo with any online greeting! http://www.whowhere.lycos.com/redirects/americangreetings.rdct
