If you're installing something new, check the depends list for what is
to be installed and for what is suggested. Install suggested packages
if a package doesn't seem to work.
$ apt-cache depends php4
In this case, you can see that apache server is not installed (though
apache-common is).
$ apt-get install php4 apache apache-doc php-doc
The /usr/share/doc/<package>/README.Debian usually gives workarounds for
any problems.
