Hi,

First install libapache2-mod-php5 php4-cgi

Then install all PHP5 and PHP4 modules

Second thing Edit DirectoryIndex from apache2.conf file and put index.php index.php4

Add below two lines in apache2.conf file 

AddHandler php-script .php4

Action php-scriipt /cgi-bin/php4

Then restart /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Then test your page using test.php

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Let me know if you have any problem.

If it is already installed then no need to install again. 

Just install remaining packages.
