Local Apache server will sot serve PHP files

['Forum Post]

I have a RH8 server running in my house and needed PHP 4.3 or greater to
run Drupal.  I am not yet ready to tear it down and install Ubuntu on it
so I install Apache 2.0 and PHP5 on my desktop machine and set Drupal up
to access the MySQL database on the server.  I did find that after I had
everything installed from Synaptic that I had to go into
System->Administration->Services and restart Apache.  Then when I
accessed a page with phpinfo () in it, it showed the MySQL settings.
