What is the fatal error? Is it your 'couldn't open DBM' message.
Make sure DBM support is available. PHP has to be configured and compiled with DBM support such as the following (as just one of the ways to do it):
./configure --with-gdbm=/<prefix> --with-ndbm --with-db=/<prefix> .......
Many people have experienced problems when upgrading PHP from v3 to v4 and realize that they have to reconfigure and compile PHP4 to support these.

Also, make sure you are not running in safe mode. If you are, then PHP checks the SUID for these databases and they has to match your SUID.
phpinfo(); can tell you a great deal and might even provide you with some answers.
