Hi,
what happens? Do you write the URL yourself, or do you expect the  
server to put that in for you (guess based on 'index')? Basically  
things look ok, but make sure that you have something like the  
following in your httpd.conf (grepped from mine, separate lines, look  
at the keywords):
=====
LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so
     DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php5
     AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
     AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
=====

If this doesn't help, I'll expect we can look further…
