You need to tell apache that index.php is a page to load as a 'DirectoryIndex'. In your httpd.conf file (mine is in /etc/httpd/conf on RHL 7.1) append index.php to the line that loooks like this:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml {.... maybe more things}
so it should now read:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php
(BTW, you can define other filenames to be handled in this way.)

I'm currently trying to set up Apache and PHP4 under Debian woody. So far, I have Apache and php4 up and running (using apt-get retrieved binaries.) I can load php pages w/o problems, provided I specify the file directly. That is, the following URL will work:
http://my.domain/some_dir/index.php
but loading the following:
will result in Mozilla (0.9.5) giving me a download dialog box telling me: "You have chosen to download a file of type: application/x-httpd-php", which is followed by a choice to either pick a helper app or to save to disk.
Any thoughts on how I would go about fixing this?
