Apache server ubuntu 10.10 returns a PHTML file to download instead of php file

I seting up LAMP on my ubuntu box. I have only changed the sites-available-default/default

 <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

    DocumentRoot /home/user/Dropbox/www/
    <Directory />
        Options FollowSymLinks

        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

When I connect to my localhost I get a file in return. A PHTML with the index.php code.

When I connect to connect to http://192.168.1.133 I get a Forbidden error..

I assume it has something to do with permission and security, but not how to fix it.

I had the same problem, and it was because of a missing php module for apache.

I think (not sure) that libapache2-mod-php5 is the essential package to run php files with apache. So, make sure at least you have this one installed, and search a little about which packages to install to have a full php/apache installation. If you are installing xampp, download the most recent version and make sure you install it as root.

After installing all the updates to the server in linux ubuntu apache server seemed to not work tried to access the website hosted on the server and the result was a phtml file type. Then look at other pages that install packages sugieron libapache2-mod-php5 php5 (5.3.2-1ubuntu4.17)

The install using LVM Synaptic Package Manager. Then I wrote the URL of my site. this is working.
