This should work out of the box by default. Since it isn't working for you then it must be a local modification somewhere. This is where it really helps if you have a second machine that you can play on. Because then you will install apache2 and libapache2-mod-php5 on this second machine and you will find that everything works fine out of the box. Then you will compare the two systems and find what is different about the broken one. The "magic" included in libapache2-mod-php5 is: /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf That file includes the needed configuration. Your message included all of the right debugging to show that it was installed and enabled okay. So it should be working at that point. > Now I have a PHP Test file: > > root@server:~# echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/test.php Yes. Looks good. > root@server:~# chmod 755 /var/www/test.php No. PHP files should not be executable. That is actually a little dangerous because if you were to actually try to execute them then the result with your shell could be "interesting" in the curse sense of that word. > A simple purge of all related packages and reinstalling changes nothing.

All I can reinforce is that it should be working out of the box based upon the configurationn installed in the php5.conf file. You didn't by any chance delete this line from the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file did you? Include mods-enabled/*.conf That is what loads all of the snippets. If you were to do something such as having replaced that file with one from a different system then it would be missing a lot of needed configuration. Bob
