i am having a hard time loading the php4.module onto the apache 2.0 server that I am running.. i have tried to load it statically and through an install and stiill can't seem to connect to localhost through any of the ports that the manual suggested 80 8000 8080.. so far i have manged to load pgsl on the server and run the apache servers on these ports but I get an error message when I try to load the php module..
cannot load php.mod etc no such file or directory.. my original configuration worked fine but I could only access the apache web page through localdomain.. can this be configured under cgi-bin? and does it make a difference if I connect through localhost or localdomain?
any suggestions welcome..

Compile PHP as a shared object module, and if the configure detects the Apache installation, it will automatically place a

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

in the httpd.conf. Make sure you have this libphp4.so together with the other Apache modules (usually modules/). Adjust the path if wrong. I think this is done by the PHP install already. If not, find it out in your PHP build tree and manually copy it to there.

The only thing that I only need to add to the configuration is

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and everything works already.

I have a few PHP4+Apache2 installations which go pretty smoothly.

this looks like it will work but I have a few questions before I go and try it.. when I tried to load libphp4.mod in the httpd.conf file the error message indicated that it couldn't find any such package.. where would I find the package if i need to i can't seem to locate it..?! also in the php directory its all pear php is this what I am look for? lastly with the AddType config would I have to go through the whole install of php again..? if I do.. how would I enable it as a shared object module.. i kno
all these questions sound crazy!? but I am CONFUSED.
