Hmm, this may seem stupid, but perhaps it's not a bzip2 file but a .gz? Or even an uncompressed tarball?
Have you run "file <filename>" on the files to check that?

| Code: |
server root # ls
apache_1.3.28.tar.gz php-4.3.3.tar.gz
server root # file apache_1.3.28.tar.gz
apache_1.3.28.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, was "apache_1.3.28.tar", from Unix, max compression
server root # file php-4.3.3.tar.gz
php-4.3.3.tar.gz: gzip compressed data, was "php-4.3.3.tar", from Unix, max compression

its supposed to be .tar.gz right?

the are .tar.gz files. That means they are compressed with gzip. (as "file" states correctly.)
tar -j specifies bzip2 compression, and is used for creating and extracting .tar.bz2 files.
tar -z is used for gzip (de)compression.
So either you use tar -xzvf <file>.tar.gz to extract those, or you recompress them: gunzip <file>.tar.gz && bzip2 <file>.tar
BTW: Any reason why you don't use portage to install?

Doesn't emerge mod_php do the trick?
I am not really familiar with apache+php, do you mean by embedded you don't want it loaded as a module?

We all are.
I don't think there is a way to do it with portage right now, but you can always edit the apache ebuild to do it.
