Debian is woody so i think it's stable?
Looking for bin/httpd gave:
# locate httpd
/etc/apache/httpd.conf
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.0
/etc/apache/httpd.conf.backup
/etc/apache/httpd.conf~
/usr/share/doc/apache/examples/httpd.conf
/usr/share/doc/apache/examples/httpd.conf-dist
/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/phhttpd-HOWTO.gz
Specifically doing a 'locate bin/httpd' gave no results. Is this a bad thing? Should I have this somewhere?
Thank you
Nathan

ok, so you have the default debian packages for all components. which train
of debian are you using (stable, testing or unstable)?
it appears that someone else has pointed out a problem with the php package
after seeing you log file so what follows may be unecessary...

ok. dso (dynamic shared object http://httpd.apache.org/docs/dso.html)
support is a means of loading modules like php at runtime rather then
compile time.
find your copy of the apache binary (try 'locate httpd' or
'locate bin/httpd') and query it for what modules are compiled in (try
'/path/to/httpd -l'). check to see if mod_so.c is listed in the output.
eg. on my webserver:
------------------------------------------------------------
# locate bin/httpd
/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd
# /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_env.c
mod_log_config.c
mod_mime_magic.c
mod_mime.c
mod_negotiation.c
mod_status.c
mod_include.c
mod_autoindex.c
mod_dir.c
mod_cgi.c
mod_asis.c
mod_imap.c
mod_actions.c
mod_speling.c
mod_userdir.c
mod_alias.c
mod_rewrite.c
mod_access.c
mod_auth.c
mod_so.c <<<<<<
mod_setenvif.c
mod_ssl.c
mod_perl.c
mod_throttle.c
mod_gzip.c
mod_php4.c
suexec: enabled; valid wrapper /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec
------------------------------------------------------------
(i've added the left square brackets to point out the module we're looking
for).

sorry if we scared you.
this is list is for people who use linux. you use linux. we welcome you with
open arms!
but seriously, don't be afraid to query something you don't understand or if
someone asks you to do something and you aren't clear on how to achieve
it...
cheers
