Apache localhost works great, except PHP is not responding

Question

I'm running Apache on Mac, PHP is installed, and I suspect something in the httpd.conf is not correctly set.

The symptom: Running PHP files in localhost yields PHP code, nothing else.

Running apachectl -D DUMP_HOSTS yields:

Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs

Help.

Answer 1

Fixed. Problem: Missing AddType application/x-httpd-php .php in httpd.conf

Answer 2

I'm on a MAC running OS X 10.6.x

I just added the local IP to the "Listen" directive. Changed Listen 80 -> Listen 127.0.0.1:80

Solved it for me.
