my turn to help

let just sum this up:
1. Trying to set up Apache2 + PHP + MySQL (a LAMP)
2. Install jommla
3. Stuff is not working
4. Apache is bitchy (that's new ;))

My though

first: from what I can see, apache doesn't like php. PHP is install but
doesn't work with Apache, somehow....

Second: Here how PHP work:
- - You request test.php
- - Apache see that it's a PHP file and "sent" it to the interpreter.
- - PHP process the file and return the output to Apache
- - Apache sent the output of PHP to the user.

So, the second point isn't working. that is clear. There is a package
that will make it work, the name is libapache2-mod-php5. I'm not sure,
but I'm pretty sure it's this one, correct me if I'm wrong.

Double check if it's install

(Note, I won't install Apache on my desktop, but I have a pretty good
knowledge of it)

if this is install, and it is still not working, I don't know. maybe
cleaning the config et reinstalling Apache, PHP and other could help.

Check this. if it's not working, well, you're pretty damn close.

Sorry for the english, I'm French

unrelated topic.
