It *sounds* like your Apache server is not knowing how to handle PHP files.

Check first to see that you have the following two lines somewhere in
your Apache configuration:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

If you do, then see if you have a LoadModule and an AddModule line in
your Apache configuration for PHP.

You may have to grep files in your Apache config directory and all of
its subdirectories, if you have a newer version of Apache, or a
distribution that is 'include' friendly on all of its config files.  I
am not sure if Debian is such a distribution.

If you have all of this in line, then I am not sure.  Just my 2?.  Hope
it's helpful.  :)
