well after going through the module support page at Apache I had a few things that needed to be added to my ./configuration script.

I added --enable-shared=php3


And it seemed to compile, now when running the httpd script I get the following error:

[root@nic-c5-250 sbin]# ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 27 of /usr/local/apache/etc/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_php3.so into server: /usr/local/apache
/libexec/mod_php3.so: undefined symbol: php3_ini
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started
[root@nic-c5-250 sbin]#
                                                       
Any ideas?
Thanks
Brian
