As far as I can remember, mod_php.so is actually the PHP3 shared module. The
PHP4 module is libphp4.so, so have a look in /etc/httpd/modules for it and
change the LoadModule directive to point to that. You should also remove any
other LoadModule and AddModule directives pointing to *php*; unless of
course you want to run them in parallel for some reason.

HTH,
adam
