The server name is just the name Apache responds to in the HTTP header.
It needs to be your domain name at your host; for your local test it
can be almost anything. It's not going to affect this problem.

I suspect you have a conflict between extensions. That is, you are
trying to load two different versions of the module. For instance, PHP
has a version of MySQL compiled in its extension. If you have another
extension which has compiled a different version of MySQL, you will have
a problem.

We already know PHP is one of the problems. I suggest you take out all
other extensions and add them back one at a time until you get the error
again. Or, alternatively, remove the extensions one at a time until
it starts working.

And BTW (from another message) I don't take files, etc. by email. Leave
it in the newsgroup so everyone can benefit. If anyone wants to do
things privately it's billable at my normal rates :-).

You might also think about the Apache Users mailing list at
www.apache.org. That's where the Apache experts are found, and know
more about the internals.
