Trying to set up a local mediawiki server on my Mac

So I go to
http://127.0.0.1/mediawiki/ in my browser,
but rather than
being presented with a web page (which I assume would guide me through
setup), I simply see the file listing of that folder. E.g:
Mac OS X ships with PHP installed, but disabled in the web server. You must
enable the PHP module in the Apache configuration file.
In /etc/http/httpd.conf you will find a line like this:
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
Remove the "#" from the start of the line to uncomment it, then restart Apache.
(You can do this by unchecking and re-checking 'Personal Web Sharing' in the
Sharing control panel, or running "sudo apachectl restart" in a terminal.)
If I'm looking at the default config file correctly, once PHP is enabled the
index.php should automatically start working. If for some reason it doesn't, you
may need to also add a line like:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
