How to enable php, mysql, and apache?

Hi guys, I am sorry if I am not in the right forum, but I am really worried about my problem...

According to this article("http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/internet/phpeasyway.html") I already have php , apache, and SQlite installed on my mac. My problem is when I try to enable the apache, instead of coming a localhost ( like 128.1.2.1) comes my website " your computer's website: http://nunomedi-e14....lan/ ) I donn't know what is this, I replace the index.html with index.php in sites folder.
Can somebody help me please.

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

You need to enable PHP for it work, I know that. In /Library/Apache2/conf/httpd.conf, look for a line that reads #mod_php. Remove the hash and save the file. Restart.

O wow. I'm sorry. I have no idea where i got that from. The file you want is in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and the line you are looking for is *#LoadModule php5_module*

Take a look at this article on LAMP on Leopard.

Guys thanks a lot. You are very fast 🙂. But I forgot to mention that I am a new mac user. 🙂 So I am not very used to the locations... I can not find this "etc/apache2/httpd.conf" can you give me the full directory address? I think I deleted this file yesterday. Let's see.

It's an invisible folder. In Finder, click on Go, than Go to Folder, and type in /etc/apache2

cd doesn't open anything. It changes your working directory in Terminal. Your prompt should change.

My friend I have found the file, I opened in textmate to edit, but it can not find the line you said. I try to use search for #mod_php, but does not pick anything up.
