You need to tell Apache how to handle the .php files. This is done with
the following incantion:
AddHandler php5-script .php
AddType text/html .php
You also need to tell it that index.php is the file you want it to serve
if you give it a url without a filename on the end (i.e.
http://www.example.com/). This is done with the DirectoryIndex statement
DirectoryIndex index.php
On my FC6 system all these php specific parts are in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf which I've copied below.
Hope this helps.
