Please carbon-copy the freebsd-questions list to make sure your mail isn't lost here. If Apache is running PHP as an SO, they you should have something like the following in /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache/libphp5.so AddModule mod_php5.c AddType application/x-httpd-php .php If these aren't present, then Apache doesn't serve PHP documents properly.
