PHP not working with Apache 2

I have installed both PHP4 and Apache2. I have set everything I know
about in the conf file. When I try to execute the php script the
browser just lists the script rather than executing it. Can someone
help me out?

The Apache config file should contain:

LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache2.dll

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

and optionally:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Restart the server after every configuration change and
check your error.log for any messages.

You may also want to add index.php to DirectoryIndex
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
which makes your server less vulnerable for configuration
errors, like having
Options +Indexes
on by mistake.

(( In my installation every application has its own webdirectory
and the start script of every application is called index.php.
Each application can be started with
http://server.domain.tld/applicationname/

/applicationname/ is an alias to a directory outside the
webdocumenttree. ))

Also check Window's system and application logs for other clues to what
might be going wrong.
