Well, I found out the problem.The thing was httpd should run with the define option set i.e
I removed <IfDefined PHP4></IfDefined> from the httpd.conf and put AddModule module/mod_php4.so directly.It worked. Then I included <IfDefined PHP4></IfDefined> and ran with httpd -D PHP4 then also it worked. And for MySql I had to change the ownership of the directory containing mysql.lock to root and mysql.I got to know this from the mysql_install.html.Thatzit.It worked.I just had to read the docs carefully before installing.
