php in Mac OS X

Question

I have uncommented the following line to have php beeing taken into account by apache:

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

I then created a test.php file with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and restarted apache

sudo apachectl graceful

But the php file is not taken into account, I just get the plain html.

Any idea ?

Answer 2

From the Terminal:

sudo cp /private/etc/php.ini.default /private/etc/php.ini

And then restart Apache again. You need a php.ini file to use PHP, and by default there is not one in place.
