Caveat - I have absolutely no experience with Dead Rat.
However, your problem #1 sounds like an Apache configuration thing - to
run php under apache you need at least some sort of addtype entry in your
httpd.conf. I use:
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it,
or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
# For PHP 4.x, use:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .html
which tells apache to use php to parse files with extensions listed.
I don't know whether the redhat apache rpm uses DSO or not - ther may be
problems there also.
But check for the addtype entry first - and remember to 'apachectl
graceful' to force a reread of the conf file if you change anything in it.
