I've done three installs from source of php5 (5.0.3, 5.1.0, and 5.1.2). On all three the httpd.conf file was not modified to enable php completely. This last time (php 5.1.2) it did insert the line LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into httpd.conf, but it did not insert the necessary lines to tell apache to parse php files.
It's been a while since I did an install of PHP4 but I don't remember having to play with the httpd.conf file back then. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
This is all on a RHEL4 box with Apache2.
Thanks in advance.
