[SWLUG] Apache PHP modules

I had a similar problem with a recent upgrade from PHP4 to PHP5 on one 
of my companies servers - the php4 directory (/usr/lib/php4 IIRC) was 
still in the php.ini file and php5 directory (just /usr/lib/php) was 
needed. So, I did both options - removed the php4 directory and 
symlinked it with the php/ one, while updating the php.ini to the new one.

Works fine now :)

But, that's not your problem...

Fair enough - it you still have files in both, they're both needed.

Must admit - I find it very unusual that they'd just be executables - 
esp. for stuff like MySQL as it's all built in (or at least should be!). 
However, looking at the error message may give some clues:

Module compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP    compiled with module API=20041030, debug=0, thread-safety=0

The API values parse as dates, and given that 2002 is around the time of 
PHP4, and 2004 is the time of PHP5, it looks like your system it trying 
to load PHP4 modules into PHP5 - hence the error.

Can you check to make sure your CGI PHP is at version 5, or (probably 
better) that all your PHP installations (and associated modules, if 
installed separately) are at the version.
