Notice that in a web browser the ''index.php '' file isn't treated as a default page and the contents don't contain the date, but instead are displaying the text in the php code you entered into the index.php file (refer to above code).</li><li>The reason this occurs is that the PHP interpreter hasn't been installed on your Centos vm vm4 by default.</li><li>Install the php packeage on your vm4 machine. NOTE: The php package comes with a working default Apache configuration so you don't need to enable it manually.</li><li>Refresh the page, webpage for your web-browser on your host machine.
