Debian 9 solution:

Add to file next lines:

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    </IfModule>
    <FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php.c>
    <IfModule mod_mime.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    </IfModule>
    <FilesMatch ".+\.php$">
        SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
