I'm running apache, and php is enabled....i successfully went through the config file generation process where it connected to my database and stuff....so PHP does in fact appear to be running fine.
However...the install.php file does not actually run...it just shows me all the soucecode. What's more, is any other admin file redirects me there...so php does still appear to be fine. i.e. i go to "wordpress/wp-admin/install.php" and i get:
<?php
/**
* WordPress Installer
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Administration
*/
// Sanity check.
if ( false ) {
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Error: PHP is not running</title>

<body class="wp-core-ui">

<h2>Error: PHP is not running</h2>
<p>WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.</p>
</body>

<?php

/**

etc.
etc.
etc.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
