to cut down on confusion of what's in which apache config file,
i use this:

	# don't need these -- it's all in this one httpd.conf file
	ResourceConfig /dev/null
	AccessConfig /dev/null

this way everything is in one /etc/apache/httpd.conf file ...

are you telling apache to load the php module?

	LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp3.so

if you've got /server-info enabled (which you might wanna rename
if you're paranoid about hackers determining what kind of system
you're running) via

	# Allow server info reports, with the URL of http://servername/server-info
	# Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable.

	<Location /server-info>
		SetHandler server-info
		order deny,allow
		deny from all
		allow from .your_domain.com
	</Location>

(by default in access.conf, but you can put it anywhere)

then just browse to
	http://localhost/server-info
to see if the php modules are enabled. if not, there's definitely
an obstacle.

	$ grep 'php' /etc/apache/httpd.conf
	LoadModule php3_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp3.so
	AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
	AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

if you wanna display your source instead of running it, you can do this:
	AddType text/plain .cgi .ncgi .nph-cgi .pl .perl .nperl .npl .pm .php .php3 .php4 .sh .c .h .man .info .tex

HTH.
