php5, php4 fast-cgi, mysql5 and apache2 on 10.4.8

[Handyman]

Hello,

I’m trying to setup my XServe the same way I have my linux server setup… with Apache2, MySQL5, php5 and php4-cgi or php4 with fast-cgi.

I called Apple and they don’t even support their optional apache2 which ships with 10.4.8 🙁
they only support apache1.3 with php4.4.4 and mysql 4.1.

I don’t mind using apache1.3… just as long as I have php5 since some of the web apps that I use need php5 and others need php4… but all use MySQL5

I started installing them using the darwinports and apache is working now but it doesn’t seem to be loading php5.
When I do a page with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

it shows up as text instead of the parsed phpinfo.

Does anybody have any experience with ports or any other experience that would enable me to do this in some other fashion?
I’m not set on darwinports, so if somebody tells me how to do this any other way… I would be happy to give it a try.
I’m not running any websites on this server yet and I have backups of everything.. so it’s a great time to try stuff.

Thanks
