title: How do I build / get libphp5.so?
body: <p>I am running SUSE from an Amazon image which came pre loaded with apache2 and PHP. I have got my website up and running with a test index.html file, which works. When I do a index.php test my browser tries to download the file.
  Now I think this is because PHP / Apache2 is not configured correctly.</p>
  
  <p>The bit I <em>think</em> I need in httpd.conf is </p>
  
  <pre><code>LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have added this block already</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Files *.php&gt;
     SetOutputFilter PHP
     SetInputFilter PHP
     LimitRequestBody 9524288
  &lt;/Files&gt;
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have installed apache2-mod_php5 via zypper with the expectation that would add libphp5.so somewhere - however I can't find it.
  I have seen people mentioning it is built somehow in the installation of php / apache.
  I updated Apache2 and PHP via zypper and nada.</p>
  
  <p>how do I get the file?</p>
