Here is how to configure PHP in Apache:

13. Setup your php.ini

cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer having
php.ini in another location, use –with-config-file-path=/some/path in
step 10.

If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list
of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.

14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand
side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP
module on your system. The make install from above may have already
added this for you, but be sure to check.

For PHP 4:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

For PHP 5:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

15. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example, let’s have
Apache parse .php files as PHP. Instead of only using the Apache AddType
directive, we want to avoid potentially dangerous uploads and created
files such as exploit.php.jpg from being executed as PHP. Using this
example, you could have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding
them. We’ll add .phtml to demonstrate.

<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Or, if we wanted to allow .php, .php2, .php3, .php4, .php5, .php6, and
.phtml files to be executed as PHP, but nothing else, we’d use this:

<FilesMatch “\.ph(p[2-6]?|tml)$”>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

And to allow .phps files to be executed as PHP source files, add this:

<FilesMatch “\.phps$”>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>

16. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server, e.g.:

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

– OR –

service httpd restart

Thankyou for the help everyone

I checked and I have php5-mysql installed, do I need something else?
