apache and mod_php problem

hi!
ive read several posts here in the forum , but i cannot solve my problem... ive merged apache, then mod_php and finally mysql....

i can start apache by apache (or apache start)... if i visit localhost in opera, everything is fine, the apachemanual-site is shown... but the apache-server doesnt understand php, although i configured it... libphp4.so is in /usr/lib/apache-extramodules/libphp4.so.
i edited /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf and added the line:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache-extramodules/libphp4.so
...
.,..
AddModule mod_php4.c

... now i can run the server (apache restart / start), but it doesnt understand the code...

could you please help me out of this problem?

LoadModule php4_module extramodules/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

TADA!

okay, by writing extramodules/ibphp4.so instead of /usr/lib/apache-extramodules/libphp4.so i was successful... but i do not understand it: in both directories is the libphp4.so... so where is the difference? can you explain it to me?

I believe the path Apache looks at for modules is relative (to its base directory), meaning it prepends some path to the one you specify. Since there is no php-module in /usr/local/apache/usr/lib/.. it cannot find it.
