Trying to get php and apache to work together

Using php 4.3.x and apache (both 1.3.x and 2). I am trying to get them built
on Linux.
Have followed the very good site of dan.drydog.com/apache2php.html and have
been able to build both apaches with no errors. Can start apache and have
no errors and all tests pass. Also can build php and again no errors. All
installations pass the tests.

However no php code works at all. The following is true for both Apache
1.3.X and Apache 2.X
If I test <?php phpinfo(); ?> which _should_ work, I get no output (to the
browser) at all. Further the mime type of *.php files (whether I define an
AddType entry in httpd.conf or not) is application/x-x-httpd-php.

I get the impression that php module is not being invoked at all. Has anyone
any ideas because I have totally run out.

(Any hints on debugging apache so I can see what is happening would also be
welcome)

I've always followed the installation instruction on www.php.net
and never failed. Check the log files of Apache.

To complete the story. I have found that you must build php with the
--with-apache and with-apache has to point to the source tree. In my case
this was in /tmp and not in /usr/local/XXX where configure expected it to
be.

Now it works fine.
