Apache PHP

[Paul Guba]

Thanks this puts me on the right track I find no  libphp4.so.  However 
no directoy libexec either.  With the YDL default install I find many 
modules installed in /usr/lib/apache.  When I rpm -ql apache as you 
requested it does not appear so I have to believe it not there.  I guess 
this mean a compile and install from .tar. Not sure I want to tackle 
this unless I can fine a good how to.  In the end I would like to use 
MYSQL with PHP so I imagine I would need to compile that module in also.
