Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

The problem you have is that PHP modules aren't being loaded by
apache. You mentioned that when you wrote:

>> I don't have any such files named php5.conf and php5.load in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/. Nothing there even starts with php.

I have PHP working on my system. My /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
file looks like this:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
          DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php
index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>

Inside the folder /etc/apache2/mods-enabled folder, I also have the
following links:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 2008-04-26 22:26 php5.conf ->
../mods-available/php5.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   27 2008-04-26 22:26 php5.load ->
../mods-available/php5.load

Notice that these are links (or shortcuts) pointing to the following
files in /etc/apache2/mods-available

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133 2008-02-27 15:49 php5.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  59 2008-02-27 15:49 php5.load

Those files have the following contents:

php5.conf looks like this:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>


And php5.load looks like this:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

Which means that the file in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so MUST
exist or PHP will not work.

One final comment. Removing "index.php" from
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf means that the file index.php won't
be loaded by default. PHP files will still be processed because of the
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php.conf file.

Hope this moves you a step closer!

Andrew.
