Hosting php files

[rickymunizjr]

Is there a directory in the filesystem that can serve PHP files? I am trying to use JuiceBox to run a PHP application that connects to a Postgres database. For example, if I create a index.php in this path

/home/juicebox/Code

and try to open the file in Chrome

file:///home/juicebox/Code/index.php

it does not serve, instead downloads the file.

Is there a way to have a virtual directory which can serve PHP files or maybe an Apache installation?
