Personal web sharing+php 5.2.2

Question

I installed PHP 5.2.2 for Apache 2 (I'm working on making a simple photo gallery) and it worked just after i installed it but it didn't give me any errors when my code didn't work. But now whenever I try and start web sharing it just says "web sharing starting up..." and stays like that. looking at the console I see a error:
Processing config directory: /private/etc/httpd/users/*.conf
Processing config file: /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf
Syntax error on line 8 of /private/etc/httpd/users/+entropy-php.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
any ideas on how to fix this? I tried reinstalling PHP but it did not help.

Hi--
but i still have the problem of just getting back a
blank screen when there is errors in my code. This
makes it very hard to trouble shoot what is wrong
with my code.
You have two choices here. One is to just read the Apache error logs with the Console app. Otherwise, you'll need to find the php.ini file and enable sending the errors to the browser (they're off by default because it's something of a security risk). This page has pretty good instructions for doing that. His directions give the php.ini file's location as /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini, but mine, using the Entropy PHP5 distribution is at /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini (note the extra "5").
