Have checked that your apache conf file is loading the module? You should have a line something like this:

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache22/libphp5.so

The paths may be different on your machine. But often package installers will add the correct line, but leave it commented out.

	just checked /etc/apache2/apache2.conf nothing about a php5_module. Should i add it myself ?Whats the exact line – andrei May 31 '11 at 13:03
	exact line depends on where you installed the php module. Have a look at the rest of the LoadModule lines and check if you installed the the libphp5.so in the same place. The above line has a relative path (relative to the ServerRoot in your apache config file. You can also specify an absolute path if it's somewhere else. But handiest to keep them all together usually. – barryj May 31 '11 at 13:13
	andrei@ubuntu:~$ sudo a2enmod php5 Module php5 already enabled – andrei May 31 '11 at 13:20
	Have you an AddType line? AddType application/x-httpd-php .php – barryj May 31 '11 at 13:26
