[Terry John]

Like all of these things, take a look in the error logs, under RedHat
they're available under /etc/httpd/logs

Installing Apache/PHP/Mysql was a matter of installing:

apache2
PHP4
mod_php4
mysql (not applicable here though)

Im guessing its because you havent installed the php4 package?

After that it required no editing of configs to get it working with 
apache - im guessing it does it when php4 is installed.
