<div>First off, I&#39;m still a Linux n00b...while I&#39;ve got the basics of Linux down, venturing beyond basic confs and apt-get is still beyond me, and I seem to have found myself in that &quot;beyond me&quot; area.&nbsp; </div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>My ultimate goal is to get Gallery2 running, so that I can gracefully do photos on my webserver.&nbsp; I have Apache2, mysql-server,&nbsp;php5, and Gallery2&nbsp;installed (whatever apt-get grabs).&nbsp; This is on a Debian etch system (installed about a week ago)&nbsp; Apache2 _appears_ to work correctly, and my page is visible at 
<a href="http://www.urbexgrp.com">www.urbexgrp.com</a> from the outside.&nbsp; I was able to successfully create a gallery2 database using mysqladmin.&nbsp; But regardless of what I do, I can&#39;t get .php files to execute in a browser (always just shows the source code).&nbsp; I&#39;ve spent the past week attempting to get php and apache to play nicely together, and well, I&#39;m lost.&nbsp; I&#39;ve spent so many nights awake, and tried so many things, I&#39;ve lost track of what I did.&nbsp; 
</div>

<div>Should I be not messing with apt-get with all this?&nbsp; Should I be installing/compiling from source code?</div>
