I have compiled php as described below.

Before installation, Apache works fine, documents can be viewed etc. but after installing PHP the httpd daemon dies immediately after start.

When I remove the following lines from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf;
________
  LoadModule php4_module	/etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so
<cut>
  AddModule mod_php4
________

;  the daemon works fine, i.e. httpd does not die, the web page is accessible etc. (w/o php support ofcourse)

PHP installation commands:

$ cd php-4.0.1pl2
$ ./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql=/usr
$?make
$ make install


Apache information: 
(standard default precompiled RPM binaries from RH6.2 distribution)

apache-1.3.12-2
apache-devel-1.3.12-2
apache-manual-1.3.12-2


MySQL information:
(RPM's)

MySQL-3.23.18-1
MySQL-client-3.23.18-1
MySQL-devel-3.23.18-1
MySQL-shared-3.23.18-1


Kernel: linux-2.2.14


**NOTE**:  I have done *EXACTLY* the same thing on TWO computers, both with different configurations.
I have installed earlier versions of PHP (4.0.0) without problem on both machines. 
The same fault occured on both computers, i.e. the httpd-daemon died immediately.

Thankful for response!

I moved the LoadModule line to the top of the LoadModule-chapter of the httpd.conf-file.

If anyone else's got this lame error, the error is still listed below... :-/

**fixed**

Please read http://bugs.php.net/bugs-dos-and-donts.php
and clarify "httpd daemin dies". Thanks.

On a closer read, it appears that the user is saying it's fixed.
