The extension you are trying to use is not configured or not installed.

><html>
><head><title>TEST</title></head>

In order to run an extension, you need (path names are
for FreeBSD, yours may vary for Linux):
(a) The extension PHP module (in this case, xml.so)
in /usr/local/lib/php/20020429/
(b) A line in /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini containing
a line for the extension: extensions=xml.so
and it must not have a semicolon in front of it.
(c) Any library/libraries required by the extension, in
this case: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so
After you have fixed any of these, stop and restart Apache.
