RedHat 7.2 PHP install

Some time you read to much into things.

And phpinfo would not display. I spent hours trying to find and install mod_php with various dependency issues and gave up. Than an old time Linux friend said "When I install RedHat I just say "install everything" " And that is the key. To fellow "newbies" to build yourself an Apache/Php/mySQL box...
