Apache2 won't serve php5 in home directory, need advice

Running Ubuntu 10.04

Installed apache2 and php5 and it works in /var/www

but once I point it to a home directory it won't serve php.
Normally I have used phpcgi but I am currently trying to use regular php.

Here is my default file. Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong would be much appreciated.

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost



        DocumentRoot /home/greensmoothiegirl/public_html

        <Directory />

                Options FollowSymLinks

                AllowOverride All

        </Directory>

        <Directory /home/greensmoothiegirl/public_html/>

                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

                AllowOverride All

                Order allow,deny

                allow from all

        </Directory>



        ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/

        <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">

                AllowOverride None

                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

                Order allow,deny

                Allow from all

        </Directory>



        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log



        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,

        # alert, emerg.

        LogLevel warn



        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined



    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"

    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride None

        Order deny,allow

        Deny from all

        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128

    </Directory>



</VirtualHost>

Is php5 being loaded? What do your access and error logs show for attempting to hit the php file?

Yes php5 is running as it works in /var/www

When I hit a php page the browser downloads it instead of parsing it and there are no errors in the logs

Nevermind I am dumping Ubuntu and going to Debian.

heh, typically you don't setup a vhost for each person you want to have a user dir...

you just enable mod_userdir and

UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root

There is really not a huge difference between debian apache2 and ubuntu apache2... although for servers I far favor debian, for desktops, ubuntu.
