I would check that you have mod-php installed for the right version of
Apache & the right version of PHP (so probably libapache2-mod-php5 or
somesuch.)

Also check that in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ you have php5.load &
php5.confconfigured correctly.

If everything looks OK, (which it probably will, because of the magic of
apt-get) try clearing the cache of the browser - this one had me stumped for
ages.


Whenever I try to restart Apache2 (using apache2ctl), I also get the

I don't know if it's the "right" place, but I put a line:-

ServerName localhost

on the first line of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

It gets rid of the irritating message, anyway!
