My test server will happily serve PHP pages if I navigate to them.
However, on one vhost, I have an index.php. This page will be served if I type in the URL. But, if I just type in 'http://mysite/', then the index.php will not be served.
I am running Apache 2.2 with the PHP module on Ubuntu.
You'll need to set the DirectoryIndex directive in your apache config.
Something like
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm
It can appear in either your server config, virtual host, directory, or an .htaccess file.
