Can't get Apache to run PHP inside html from localhost - works fine from /var/ww/html

[Frel]

I had a look at the stantonfinley fedora core 5 instructions and robooted
but to no avail.
PHP scripts work fine from var/www/html whether the suffix is .php or .htm
but not from localhost.

I did what is suggested from this point and rebooted but no bloody luck.
If someone could throw an clue this way it'd be appreciated and thanked in
advance.

If you wish to enable support to serve web pages from user's home
directories as well comment (add a "#" in front of) "UserDir disable" so
that it reads "#UserDir disable" and uncomment "#UserDir public_html" so
that it reads "UserDir public_html". Then uncomment and edit the control
access stanza for user directories below it so that it looks something
like this: <Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options Indexes
Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews <Limit
GET POST OPTIONS>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

Open your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, grep for php, and uncomment the lines
LoadModule and AddModule for PHP. It sounds like this should fix it.
Also, make sure you are using http://localhost and not file://localhost
-- file:// URLs are not parsed.

All LoadModule entries were already uncommented. No "AddModule" for PHP
found.

This brings up what is in in var/www which I don't have a problem with.
