Answer 1

I can't answer your particular problem directly, but if you continue to have issues, may I suggest easy alternative? Install MAMP. Works like a charm with very little setup. Website here: http://www.mamp.info/en/index.html

Answer 2

You need to add AddType to your server config:

AddType x-httpd-php .php

This can be done in .htaccess or httpd.conf file. The AddType directive maps the given filename extensions onto the specified content type.

Also check for

include /private/etc/apache2/other/php5.conf in httpd.conf

Answer 3

You may need to load php module on apache

in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf , uncomment following line

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

and then restart apache
