In you apache conf file probably located in 

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

You need to make sure you have this line:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

if not add the index.php and restart apache.

You also need to make sure you have: 

Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf

or whatever path it is in.

Also while in there you may want to turn off server tokens. It will add an extra layer of security.

Also check permissions on your index.php file to make sure they match the owner and system privileges. If not then chown and chmod the file appropriately.

All these edits will require a httpd restart.

    Well you also need to make sure you have: Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf or whatever path it is in. If you don't have access to the confs you will need to get your server host to assist you with enabling it. Also while in there you may want to turn off server tokens. It will add an extra layer of security. All these edits will require a httpd restart.

    Which file? httpd.conf or mod_php.conf?? Sounds like php may not be installed. it could be named php.conf or something similar.I'd need a lot more details about your server to go much farther.
