Weird configure problem

First of all, I have gotten gallery to work wonderfully on Apache 1.3.x/PHP 4.2.3. I decided I would migrate to Apache 2.x (currently 2.0.43) and PHP 4.2.3 Once I got everything working (PHP, etc..) I loaded up my website where gallery was, and it said it wasn't configured. Well, I was sort of confused that it would do this, but I proceeded to configure it. Everything went well (even the first page) and gallery configured correctly. I am sure the config.php file was written and has correct permissions, but when I ran the secure.sh script and visited the gallery page, it said it still needed to be configured! Since then, I have totally removed gallery, downloaded a fresh copy, configured it again, but it still isn't working. Any ideas? Is this an Apache 2.0/PHP problem? PHP is a DSO loaded at runtime, and every other PHP application I've created for my website is working fine???

The problem is that PHP is unreliable on Apache2. They need to make the PHP engine work in a multithreaded environment before it'll be stable and we'll support it. Check out php.net to see if you can lend them a hand.
