One might note that on Debian I found one must use # a2enmod dir or else / will not get translated to /index.php .
I imagine that module is enabled by default. Maybe you ran "a2dismod dir" at some point in the past?
Yes so I decided to reinstall from scratch and now index.php is being interpreted as plain text so I cannot figure out how to make it interpreted as PHP here with apache 2.4 in Debian and any searches just give advice for older versions of apache.
