Back when I was running Sarge I had apache v1.3 and php5 working just fine. I did a clean install when I switched to Etch, instead of using 'dist-upgrade.' When I did the install I installed apache2, instead of apache v1.3.

I just tried to access the local copy of my site and I get a 404 Error from apache2. I couldn't figure out why it did not find the site. Figuring that it was probably a configuration problem, I looked in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf. That didn't help. So I installed apache2-doc, but could not view the docs properly. Firefox just displayed the contents of the files, instead of rendering them. I decided to give up on apache2, so I purged all of the apache2 packages and installed apache, apache-doc, and php, along with their dependencies. This got apache running again, and it will find and correctly find and render my site (and its own docs), but when I try to access the lone .php file on my site I get a prompt saying:

You have chosen to open

   gallery.php

   which is a: PHP File
   from http://xander

What should Firefox do with this file?

Then it gives me the option to select a program to open it with, or save to disk. Obviously, neither of these options is correct. If I save the file, however, and then look at it, I see that apache has NOT preprocessed the file, but has served it up as is. Apparently, apache does not think that php is installed and so is not processing the file. Then Firefox receives it and it should display it as html. Of course, since it hasn't been preprocessed by apache Firefox will barf on the php code embedded in the file, but it should still try to render it, shouldn't it?

Can anyone help me in getting this to work? It all worked fine under Sarge, but not now, under Etch.
