> Second step, what is the actual path of the new installed libphp5.so file?

I've searched for it with "find / -name libphp5.so" and the outpur is:


--------------------
/usr/src/php-5.2.3/.libs/libphp5.so
/usr/src/php-5.2.3/libs/libphp5.so
/tmp/php-5.2.5/.libs/libphp5.so
/tmp/php-5.2.5/libs/libphp5.so
--------------------


First, I've added this module to httpd.conf:
/usr/src/php-5.2.3/libs/libphp5.so

But it's old version.

After I've changed it to:
/tmp/php-5.2.5/libs/libphp5.so

And restarted server, apache stopped working. It doesn't show even HTML now, I
get error "Can't find server".

Do you mean Apache module? I've tried to find it with "find / -name apxs" and
the output is:

--------------------
/usr/sbin/apxs
--------------------

that of the one from the apache build

So, I should move it from PHP source directory (/tmp/php-5.2.5/) to /usr/sbin/?

Sorry, but I don't understand what modules you mean. The first one a
/tmp/php-5.2.5/libs/libphp5.so 
I guess. But which one is the second one?

The line is here:

LoadModule php5_module        /tmp/php-5.2.5/libs/libphp5.so
