PHP is not installed and also Apache shows directory-content (you can fix that with an option in a config-file of apache)

unfortunately I cannot be of much help here, but the php is not being parsed at the server level. Anytime you see the actual source code on screen it means that the PHP interpreter is not being called to parse the source.

 

I did not have a *lot* of luck installing PHP on a windows system, but I do remember that you need to add a new environment variable pointing to the php.exe file. I believe that this is where I had the issues before. I got it all jiving together a couple times, but I ended up saying f*ck it and I installed XAMPP. I am now trying my hand at managing a *real* LAMP server on UBUNTU Linux 6.01.

 

I hope this helps some
