distro : debian 3.1 (stable)

Allright, this is my last resort, i am puzzled and i can't find the answer anywhere else.
I have installed apache 2, php 5 and mysql 4 today on my computer, all from sourceball.
There's just one problem, php won't show at all. Allow me to explain it in detail.

(Apache)
I configured apache like this "./configure –prefix=/usr/local/apache2 –enable-mods-shared=most" following make, make install.
I edited httpd.conf, added "LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so" and "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to it, and changed the DirectoryIndex line like this "DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php".

(MySQL)
I configured mysql like this "./configure –prefix=/usr/local/mysql –localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data –disable-maintainer-mode –with-mysqld-user=mysql –enable-large-files-without-debug" following make, make install.
I added a mysql usergroup with "/usr/sbin/groupadd mysql" and added a user with "/usr/sbin/useradd -g mysql mysql".
installed a database with "./scripts/mysql_install_db".
Made some ownership changes with "chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql" and "chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data".
I edited ld.so.conf, added "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" and started mysql.

(php)
I configured php like this "./configure –prefix=/usr/local/php –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql" following make, make install.
performed this command "cp php.ini-recommended /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini".
Edited php.ini, changed doc_root to "doc_root= “/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/” " and changed file_uploads to "file_uploads=Off".

(testing..)
Then i started apache using "/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start".
Created test.php in htdocs, wich has as source code <?php phpinfo(); ?>.
But when i open the file in a webbrowser (firefox or mozilla), i get a blank screen and the source code is shown as "<html><body></body></html>" wich doens't make sence at all since i never put that in the file.

I was hoping somebody in here would know the answer to my problem, thanks in advance

p.s. i used This (http://www.hostlibrary.com/installing_apache_mysql_php_on_linux) as guideline during my install, following every step exactly.

I really hate to do this.....
But since you're running debian (a wise choice) why don't you remove all those programs you just installed and use apt-get to install them for you?
It really is as easy as

apt-get install apache mod_php mysql

apt-get returns with the error that it can't find mod_php, however i was able to find libapache-mod-php4 + libapache-mod-php5 (plus both for apache2) should i install libapache-mod-php5 instead then? and mysql is "missing" too, however i did find mysql-client (mysql database client binarys) and mysql-common (mysql database common files) should i use those two?

search for packages with

apt-cache search mysql
apt-cache search php
apt-cache search mod_php

Then when you have package names, you can google them to see if that's what you need.

so it seems i apt-getted the right ones, though now i get an error, of wich i suspect that its telling me that i don't got enough rights (though im logged in as root). the error :


Warning: Unknown(/var/www/test.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/var/www/test.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in Unknown on line 0
