It would be a bit peculiar to find binary files in /usr/share - and anything else related to PHP would not prevent the webserver from starting.

Show us your error_log

hi, the error log showed nothing past 5 days ago, since apache hasnt been able to start. however i just removed apache/php/mysql all at once and then reinstalled and now the service is going again. im sure i already did that but maybe the order was important, probably the dependency issue. – jskye Apr 28 '11 at 12:54

What command will tell me whats wrong with httpd? Last line of the httpd log file from 5days ago was [Sat Apr 23 10:10:29 2011] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down – jskye Apr 28 '11 at 7:04

Here's an untested answer:

rpm -qf /usr/share/php

yum remove whatever package that gives you. From the path it almost definitely looks like you'll want PHP.

yum install package
