Apache doesn't recognize PHP using a Mac

Question

Today, I installed PHP, MySQL and Apache on my brandnew Mac, but for some reason Apache doesn't recognize the PHP extension... I followed this tutorial (just like last time) and for some reason the phpinfo.php file is showing nothing more then this:

<?php 
     phpinfo();
?>

What setting or configuration did I miss?

brandnew Mac good.....

Why not use MAMP?

It installs all of them for you, it's free, and you simply have to open an app to launch both the MySQL and Apache severs.

Maybe I'll try it, but i still would like to know what I missed during the setup of Apache...

I was considering installing them all manually, then I tried MAMP :)

Do I need to uninstall the previous installations? Or does MAMP overrides them all? Cause I can't launch my MySQL server...

ah - that can happen the first time - go in activity monitor, search mysqld, and kill all the processes called that - once you've done that, it should work

also to access your DB after that go to localhost:8888/phpMyAdmin

Check your httpd.conf. You might find that the PHP module load command is commented out.
