php disabled by default

["Ivan Longhi" <ivan.longhi@rcm.inet.it>]

I have installed apache2 and libapache2-mod-php4.
by default every virtualhost can run php script as the installation
process creates 2 simbolic links in /etc/apache2/mod-enabled: one to
php4.load and one to php4.conf

my idea is to disable by default php and enable it site by site when
required, so I removed the simbolic link php4.conf (I left the symlink
php4.load in order to use the LoadModule directive), and in the
configuration of a site in wich I want to run php I added the directives:
<VirtualHost *>
  ..............
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</VirtualHost>
as AddType directive can be used in virtualhost contest (see apache doc)

It seems to me that this is a right configuration, but doing in this way
every virtualhost enables php and I can't understand why.
any idea?

Ciao,
Ivan
