My working config has the following 3 critical lines to get PHP working: LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c AddType application/x-httpd-php {your favourite PHP file extenstions here} (Alongside a bucketfull of <IfModule...> sections to allow "easy" enabling or disabling of SSL, PHP, and a number of other pieces.) Also check the ServerRoot directive; I seem to recall that it was set incorrectly out of the box for some reason. Make sure the file extension you're trying to use is listed in the AddType. When restarting Apache, use: $ /etc/init.d/httpd restart Recent versions of RedHat seem to use a number of command-line defines for Apache modules for some reason. All of them get packaged up nice and hidden in the scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d. RedHat also seems to have goofed with the rc?.d symlinks for the various runlevels; several critical ones (named, postgres, for instance) are set to shut down in all 7 runlevels... -kgd -- Money is overrated.
