OK you said you had already installed it, so which did you follow 4-1 or
4-2?
4-1 (shared modules) compiles PHP as an Apache module, this means that
when Apache needs to process a page that contains PHP it will have to
load in the PHP module (this is all done automatically), however you need
to tell it what PHP files look like and what the PHP module is. This is
done in steps 14 & 15.
4-2 (static) means that PHP will be compiled into the Apache executable
however you still need to tell it what PHP files look like (step 15).
