PHP- Localhost problem

Just did a fresh Slackware 12 install.

I can't view my php files in a brower.
This is what I type:

Code:

<?php 



echo 'Hello World!';



?>

/srv/httpd/htdocs is the default directory. (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf says: DocumentRoot "/srv/httpd/htdocs")

So I put a hello.php file in /srv/httpd/htdocs and if I go to http://localhost/hello.php, this is what I get:

<?php
echo 'Hello World';
?>

I should see: Hello World...

I've tried to do

Code:

apachectl restart

, which says

Quote:

httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

So I can't find the problem...

Is apache configured to use php at all?
In other words ...
is
#Include /etc/httpd/mod_php.conf
uncommented in httpd.conf?

Downloaded and installed the XAMPP Apache Distribution which works perfectly, although the security is bad.

Heh. Solving problems the windows way ;}
