Answer 1

Are you sure you have php installed? If it is you need to make sure that apache is associating .php files with the php handler. Look for an entry similar to the following in /etc/apache/apache.conf

 LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

and

 application/x-httpd-php        php php5

upon changing the file you will need to restart apache via sudo service httpd restart
