What's the difference between mod_php4, mod_php, and php?

[Mark Berkwitt]

First, I tried using 127.0.0.1/index.php in the browser and I received the 
following error:
An error occured while loading http://127.0.0.1/index.php:

Could not connect to host 127.0.0.1

I suppose I should note that I have k12LTSP (Redhat) installed with 2 nics 
where one goes to my cable modem and the other is set to a local 192. etc, 
should this matter, which I doubt.

I've scanned the file /var/www/html/index.php as you suggested and I don't see 
the entry 'phpinfo()'. I thought since I had checked the entry to install 
'server' packages that apache would be running.
Is there a test to see if apache is running, let alone if it's running with 
php support?
