As you are probably already painfully aware, this is *usually*
due to the absence of the necessary lines in the httpd.conf file;
specifically, AddModule and LoadModule (pointing to the PHP shared
object) and AddType (referring to the MIME type for PHP files).

Not toast, exactly. Another configuration error, most likely.
httpd.conf tells the server which file(s) is/are acceptable as
INDEX files. If all your index files were "index.php", for
example, and the httpd.conf file (which is new, apparently?) says
that only "index.html" files are allowed as INDEX files, you'll
get this error every time.

IANAE here, but that's not like my httpd.conf, in which
the ports aren't specified. I also don't use ServerAlias
directives. Like I said, no expert.

You said you did this already, but I'd again make **sure**
I was editing the correct httpd.conf. Get the right syntax,
and it'll be there. Watch out for "IF" syntax, also.
Can you post the relevant lines (AddModule, LoadModule, AddType)
and whether or not they are contained in an "IF" ??
