[ale] PHP 4.05 on SuSE

I had the same problem.

1) you may need to comment out one of your old mime types for .php that 
marks it as a PHP3 page.

2) There is a big warning that comes out when you compile PHP as an 
apache module about conflicts with mysql between other apache modules.  
I suspect that this is what caused the problem. 

Try commenting out the lines in httpd.conf that pertain to PHP3 and 
anything else that might be linked against mysql and then see if your 
PHP4 module loads.  This is what worked for me.

This is as far as I got in solving the problem. PHP4 pages work, PHP3 
pages do not.  I suspect that the solution is to install the mysql 
shared library (libmysql.so?) and then recompile the  PHP4 module (and 
probably the PHP3 module as well) with  the argument 
--with-mysql=<path_to_mysql_installation> they might be able to co-exist.
