[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Php files on DOCUMENTROOT /var/www not being run e.g.
brucesalem :/var/www/brucesalem
$ cat info.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

The documentation for using php5 says to run a2nmod it fails and the
links are not there.

$  sudo a2enmod php5
Module php5 already enabled
brucesalem :~
$ ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5
ls: cannot access /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5: No such file or directory
brucesalem :~
$  ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-availble/php5
ls: cannot access /etc/apache2/mods-availble/php5: No such file or directory
brucesalem :~

Symantec package manager says that libapache2-mod-php5 IS installed.

Veryifying the path to that lib would be a good debuging step.
