The postinst script for php4-mysql should ask if you want it added to your
php.ini (which is optional, as you could just as easily use
"dl('mysql.so')" in your php scripts).

That's because it's a PHP extension, not an Apache module.

This also sounds like an issue. If php4 got replaced with php4-cgi, you're
not running the Apache module at all anymore (though, this seems rather
odd. I can't think of any instance where php4 would be forcefully removed
rather than upgraded). You might want to reinstall php4, then toss
"extension=mysql.so" in your /etc/php4/apache/php.ini.
