As you are not using apxs (look in the php manual for this) it looks like your installation is not an Apache DSO module but compiled into Apache itself. If you use the same configure command for PHP then you will need to recompile Apache too. My experience with php begins with RH7.2 but the above does not look like a normal RH installation of PHP.

If you do a "httpd -l" (that is the letter "l") as root and it shows "mod_so.c" then Apache is compiled to use modules and you could chose to compile PHP as a module. If it does not then you will need to recompile Apache. Regards Chris
