I hope you meant "In /etc/apache2/mods-enabled".
My configuration is working without needing to uncomment anything.
The line "TypesConfig /etc/mime.types" should be enough for apache2 to
parse correctly php files. Try commenting back the line you uncommented.
If this doesnt solve the issue, try checking whether you have a correct
mime.types file. This is the output of "grep php /etc/mime.types" on my
system.
application/x-httpd-php                         phtml pht php
application/x-httpd-php-source                  phps
application/x-httpd-php3                        php3
application/x-httpd-php3-preprocessed           php3p
application/x-httpd-php4                        php4
Honestly I am not using the libapache2-mod-php4 but the php4-cgi
pacakges. So if you installed the former, maybe the issue could be found
in php4.conf. But its just a wild guess.
My .2 cents.
