My php4 plugin doesn't seem to be working

[Brian Densmore]

Well thanks everyone for the suggestions.
I will never know what the cause was or the fix.
I spent the weekend rebuilding my debian laptop,
*all weekend* and it's still not done. Something
I did, screwed up the xdm. Something strange about
the bonzai install. There is a spawn command in
inittab. That was driving me nuts trying to figure
out why is kept respawning X even with no xdm running.
So now I am rebuilding the system better than it was 
before. Specifically, what I did was : moved X to start
at runlevel 3 instead of 2, changed the spawn command to
exclude runlevel 2, added a boot option for noX, and
changed the default runlevel to 3. 

On a more interesting note, I tarred my home directory
before doing all this and scp'ed up to my server. I then
untarred it into a different directory and copied the .mozilla
directory (version 1.6) over the new install (version 1.0).
Mozilla didn't complain about that at all. Sweet!
(YMMV - I haven't fully explored the implications of this and
if you try it and fsck up your mozilla don't blame me.)

did you make a /etc/php.conf?  or where ever it goes   make shure near 
the top that you load  the module

LoadModule php4_module        /usr/libexec/libphp4.so

or where ever it is,  use locate to find it for shure sounds like 
libphp4.so is just in a different lib dir then where apache expects it
