THANK YOU! It finaly worked! Compiling as a static was the way to go. I'll admit that I forgot to shut down httpd prior to copying over the new binary, but once I got that cleaned up, it worked. Many thanks, Erik, and everyone else who gave their input. BTW, Erik, have you gotten mod_perl working yet? I'd be intrested in knowing how that turns out.

Re: [PHP] dynamic module or static?
I'm no guru on the topic, but I found that when configuring the DSO with MySQL (--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql), it would always garble the PHP module. Eventually I got it all set up by not specifying a directory (in other words, just using "--with-mysql") in that configure argument. But this meant using PHP's internal MySQL abilities, which work fine but apparently aren't compatible with mod_perl. So I re-did everything, and it seems that the smoothest way to do it is to install PHP as a static module and use the original --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql (YMMV), but when compiling Apache be sure to --enable-so so that you still can load DSOs if you want. Note, though, that I haven't tested or even installed mod_perl yet, so I can't verify the long-term success of this experiment. But PHP has been working fine with MySQL and Apache since then. Also make sure that you didn't just "cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib", you also have to rename it "php.ini" (but I'm sure you did that).

Re: [PHP] dynamic module or static?
If I put the AddModule line before the LoadModule line, I get the following error from apachectl configtest: Cannot add module via name 'mod_php4.c': not in list of loaded modules If I put the AddModule line after the LoadModule line, I get the original error. Seems like a Catch-22 if you ask me!
