That's weird... I have apache running here and the only things I had to 
change were related to the directories I wanted use as base directories...
PHP was installed and is working (at least php_info() returns the info page)

Well, ldap is a difficult subject.. I only started to understand it a 
bit when I read the ldap book published by O"reilly...
If you have the change to get this book , do it.. it's focused on 
openldap and gives details on how to configure not only authentication , 
but also mail , web , ftp and radius with ldap.

Is this a clean install or a upgrade? I never got a upgrade working 
perfectly....
