[PLUG] Problems activating Squirrelmail on Apache2 on Debian testing

[Mike Leone <turgon@mike-leone.com>]

I'm trying to get PHP4 activated in apache2 (I want to use squirrelmail, 
which requires PHP). So I installed apache2, php4 and php4-common, and 
libapache2-mod-php4. I go to test php by creating /var/www/testphp.php, 
and insert the line

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

When I browse to <http://10.0.0.20/testphp.php>, I get the test page, 
which tells me that php4 is running. (v 4.4.4-8)

So then I install squirrelmail and squirrelmail-locales. I configure 
Squirrelmail, and I make a link to activate it

ln -s /etc/squirrelmail/apache.conf etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf

and restart apache.

However, when I go to bring up the squirrelmail webpage 
<http://myip/squirrelmail>, my browser (IE or Firefox) wants to know 
what to do with a PHP file (application x-httpd-php). Web searches have 
been less than helpful.

What could be wrong?
