Ah, good point.  Did not think about that.  So there should be some  
notes added in that regard.  I also found that php does not load with  
the settings mentioned on the page.

The loading of the php module is done by
#
# Include PHP configurations
#
Include conf/extras-conf/mod_php.conf

 From where httpd.conf sits, at /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf  
Apache 2 can not locate the file.  It is silent about the issue,  
but .php files will be downloaded, and not parsed.

Rather than fiddling with relative and absolute, as I just want to  
test a few things out locally on this macbook, I changed it to
Include /opt/local/apache2/conf/extras-conf/mod_php.conf

I could not use ../ in the path name, that seems to be invalid for  
apache2.  I am not sure why the original form did not work, I believe  
it should have, but it does not.  The full path certainly does.
