Thank you for your answer,

unfortunately, my php.conf file already holds both lines:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3
DirectoryIndex index.php

as well as:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

A few more thoughts. When testing whether apache is correctly listening 
to port 80, I ask for http://localhost, Apache access log correctly 
records the transfer of data from server to client.
When feeding the web browser with a simple file such as:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head></head>
<body><?php phpinfo(); ?></body>

the log file does not record anything, meaning that no transfer is 
carried out. Is this correct or not?
