Once php has been installed on apache server, why I cannot run php program on it, any idea?
the server must support php, then you can use it
You need to add support to apache as stated something like this if you have apache2; APACHE2_OPTS="-D PHP4" On my distro (Gentoo) its in /etc/conf.d/apache2/apache2.conf Each distro may be a little different like /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
what versions of apache and php do you have?
