Are you sure the entire Apache source code is in /usr/include/apache?

I believe you wanted --with-apxs rather than --with-apache. If you
really wanted --with-apache, and you know the difference, then you will
also need to cd into the apache source directory, and configure apache
with --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a, then make and install
Apache again.

Using --with-apache builds PHP as a static module. --with-apxs builds
PHP as a DSO -- a shared module that can be loaded and unloaded via
httpd.conf using the LoadModule directive.

If you use --with-apxs, when configuring PHP, after you make install, it
will install a PHP module in your *current* Apache install's modules
directory, and it may attempt to update your httpd.conf with the correct
LoadModule line if needed.

That "prepped" the PHP module to be included into httpd when you build
Apache. You installed PHP into /usr/local/apache/src (or a similar
path).

That's because PHP isn't installed as an Apache module yet, or you
haven't rebuilt Apache yet.
