Some Linux distributions reconfigure Apache automatically so it 
knows how to read PHP files. But in case yours doesn't, you'd 
need to make sure this happens.

Something like (in 'httpd.conf'):

#
LoadModule php5_module        $libdir/apache2/libphp5.so
#
<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
#


You can then create a test 'index.php' in your DocumentRoot file 
with the following inside it:

<?phpinfo()?>

If this works, not only will you be able to glean vital 
information about your web server and PHP installation, but hey, 
it means your Apache server is PHP-aware :).

Cheers,

Mark.
