FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - httpd-2.0.43, php-4.2.3

Redhat Linux 8.0

This is just insane, same steps I always take when isntalling apache+php, no longer work. What am I missing, what changed in apache 2.x.x ?

I download the httpd-2.0.43, php-4.2.3 sources and compile,
both go fine, i edit the httpd.conf, add the lines, then I start apache, no errors. But of course , of all my@#%! luck, I get the terrific:
<?
phpinfo();
?>
instead of what I wanted...

Anyone have a light the can shine on this for me?
What changed? Or is there a special trick to this now...
I hate it when a version change makes me re-do my ways...

i can't get 2.043 to compile properly at all; problems with the expat library.

I understand your pain, and pardon me for stating this if it's obvious...did you also
compile apache with --enable-so? and add

LoadModule php4_module /usr/apache2/modules/libphp4.so

in addition to the AddType lines?

just throwing it out there. feel free to reply with your entire configure statements, and I'll take look.

Yes I enable shared mem, mod support, ect and added the AddModule to the .conf. Also the mime types.

I double checked all paths, restarted apache, no errors in the logs or on the screen, and the thing still fails.

On a fun note, the access log shows every request a fun 304 response... Why does apache.org list this as " the best release ", it seems to be pretty unstable.

I went back to 1.3.27 , forget 2.x.x ....
