[NTLUG:Discuss] Newbie question re: apache2, php, etc

[Fred]

Long back story but it boils down to I have a server that has a
lot of php files and after much reading and configuration, etc I
ran across this tidbit:

In case the browser wants to save your php files instead of displaying 
the content, you should enable php support in the /etc/apache2/mod_
userdir.conf file. Add the following line to it, just after the 
<Directory /home/*/public_html> line and restart the server. 
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf

If you're still unable to get to the page or are getting error pages instead 
please <seek> help.

Well, DUH!

Ok, I think that I have everything installed, configured and running but
when I try to open a php file with firefox it still wants to save the files
instead of displaying them. I have tried running firefox as both a user
and as root, no difference. My limited knowledge has been exceeded
and now I am following instructions and asking for help.

I really would like the php files to render in my browser and, hopefully,
anyone else's browser that goes there.

Thanks,
Fred
