That is sort of odd.

I notice he said the following -

and.. it still doesn't work. I created a test file:
?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

// Show just the module information.
// phpinfo(8) yields identical results.
phpinfo(INFO_MODULES);

?>


Paul, is that actually what it says? If so, it sort of makes sense,  
because the first line is incorrect, it should be <?php

I usually just create a file called php.php in the document root of  
the domain and add the following one liner to it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

And if it loads, it tells me right away whether or not php is working.

Now, if he does have the proper syntax for the php file he created  
above and just missed a < on the copy/paste, that is sort of odd, if  
it's just displaying code. Means something in the apache config is  
causing the server to not parse php files properly. The double load  
error message means that php is likely loading just fine, so he'll  
also have to pay attention to things like Included files and .htaccess  
files as well.

This is definitely weird, especially if this is a fresh install,  
usually getting apache and php working together in debian is a fait  
accompli. I don't usually see these kinds of problems until folks  
start trying to compile either apache or php on their own.
