S.O.S. - Help with PHP 4.0 + Apache for Linux

[Anon]

PLLLLEEASEEE Help!!!!
I'm new to the Linux camp, using RH 6.1. I'me installing the dynamic version of PHP with apache. When I install the PHP modules, they don't show up by using the:
httpd -l command.

Compiledin-Modules
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper bin/suexec

I'm not sure if the "suexec" has anything to do with my problems, though I know this is an apache problem. Does this have anything to do with this?
When I try to load the .php test, the server send out the source code for the page. I have changed the httpd.conf file to point to the application and to the .php file type (AddType application/x-httpd-php .php), (LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so) . Still no positive results.

When I compiled the program I did it in the directory
/usr/local/src/ (Is this bad?)

In addition, I used this process to compile (based on the INSTALL readme file)
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
make
make install

Any ideas?

Hi
For some reason --with-apxs craps out the installation may be a bug or many users are not wellversed with the --with-apxs, try the below :

You need to get apache_<version>.tar.gz from apache.org and php-<version).ta.gz from php.net

Untar them into any directory say apache, and php

$ cd apache
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
$ cd ../php
$ ./configure --with-apache=../apache --with-mysql --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf --enable-track-vars
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../apache
$ make
$ make install
$ mv ../php.ini-dist /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini
$ cd /usr/local/apache/conf
$ vi httpd.conf
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
:q!
$ cd ../htdocs
$ vi test.php
<?
phpinfo();
?>
:q!
$ cd ../bin
$ ./apachetcl start
