what happened when you tried - any error messages in the logs ?

did apache just send the php source ?

apt-get php4 worked for me
the relavent lines in  my httpd.conf are

LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/libphp4.so

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

(and I may have adjusted these manually)
