PHP script not executing on Apache server
I have just reinstalled Apache and PHP5 but when I visit my doc root it just downloads a "download" file. And when I try documentroot/index.php it just downloads the PHP file.
I have PHP installed but Apache doesn't seem to want to execute it.
People suggested adding a 'Load Module' line to my httpd.conf but I don't have that file.

Typing:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
will install everything you need and will start the apache server with support for PHP.
To verify that the php module is loaded, type:
a2query -m php5
if not enabled, then load with:
sudo a2enmod php5
and restart apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
Update for php7.0, tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10
Thanks to the comments, I update the answer for php7.
Install:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0
Verify:
a2query -m php7.0
Load:
sudo a2enmod php7.0
Restart apache:
sudo service apache2 restart

It would be better to usea2enmodthan to copy the file manually between mods-available and mods-enabled.a2enmodcreates a symlink and so you'll only have one copy of the configuration.

Another common cause is that php short tags <? are not enabled by the default php.ini configuration, so after an upgrade or reinstall, that setting may be turned off and php code may depend on it. Try replacing <? with <?php.

Ubuntu 16.04 has moved to PHP 7. This single command will do the job for you:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php
Here libapache2-mod-php is a meta-package that installs libapache2-mod-php7.

Open php.ini with nano in terminal:
sudo nano /etc/php/php5.6/apache2/php.ini
Then change:
short_open_tag = Off
to
short_open_tag = On
Then save and then restart apache2:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
