Okay, I added the following to my httpd.conf file (which is located in
/etc/apache2:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php5

When I restart or force-reload the web server, the page loads, but
displays no info (I am using FF 1.5.0.7). If I have it display source,
I get:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

So, this is an improvement. Any further ideas???
