You need to add the following line into your Apache config file:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html

You also need two other things:

   In your_site.conf file (e.g. under /etc/apache2/mods-available in my case), add the following lines:

   ">
       AllowOverride All
   
   

2. Enable Rewrite Mod

   Run this command on your machine:

   sudo a2enmod rewrite 
   

   After any of those steps, you should restart apache:

   sudo service apache2 restart
