Leonard,

I wonder..is httpd started?  I truly did nothing more than what I 
described (I've already had apache running on this system, so there were 
no dependencies when I installed phpsysinfo).

If apache/httpd is running, is the default web root in a place that's 
not standard?

Lets start by determining if apache2 is running:
$ /etc/init.d/apache2 status

on a running system, the reply should be something like this:
  * Apache is running (pid 2451).

In my karmic install, the relevant apache conf file is
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

In a typical karmic install with apache2 (as mine is, all default 
locations), your 'web root' is /var/www

Try making nothing more than a plain text file called 'hello.txt' with 
the contents "Hello" and placing it in /var/www.

Then browse to http://localhost/hello.txt and see if you get a 404 or a 
plain background with the word hello in quotes :)

Once we know if apache is running and configured to the (debian and 
ubuntu) standard of /web/www as web root, we can further debug the 
phpsysinfo issue.


HTH,
