I cannot agree. Centos is not certified at all :-) So we cannot speak about certification at all here.
Compilation and setup can be done in 1-2 hours - I think he wasted more time than that.
Going the compilation way will probably help Roger go around his mistake e.g wrong httpd or php config.

Hi Roger,
I still wonder why don't you do this:
- Downloads and install from source apache & php 5.3. There are penty
of tutorials how to do this. Compile only php modules you need.(!)
Install in/usr/local/ (It goes there by default)
Modify firewall to allow port 8080
Edit httpd.conf of the newly compiled Apache so you have correct
DocumentRoot and make it listen 8080.
Start the new Apache on 8080
Check how site behaves on port 80 and port 8080.
A) If it is better on 8080 shut down primary Apache, and change teh port of the new one on 80.
B) If it is the same, check database - run check and repair mysql tables
- might be broken indexes or something.

Because it's a waste of time. If he's running on RHEL or CentOS (he said he'd test on CentOS) he's using the same software that carries the certification demanded by all the largest companies in the world and on which red Hat bets its business.
If he's still testing on Fedora, then testing on CentOS is essential. Fedora is quite likely to be broken, but probably better than Apache's apache and PHP's PHP because they have undergone additional testing and hammering by Good Folk from Drupal, Joomla, Wordpress and any other significant open source project using PHP.
I think it has to be something not certified such as Drupal or Roger.
