I ran into this a while ago. My hosting company did some "updates" and messed up the httpd.conf file. I eventually tracked it down to the php directives being a bit mangled. Make sure that Apache is loading the PHP module, and that you are telling apache how to handle php files. Since you have apache2, check the /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf file to make sure that LoadModule, AddHandler, AddType, and DirectoryIndex are all in there.
