Apache setup help

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

Folks,

I'm trying to set up an Apache server to host my own web pages.  I'm running
it on a Gentoo system with a Celleron processor.  It is networked to my home
net and I'm accessing it from the SuSE 8.0 desktop I use to access the web
normally.

I'm trying to follow the O'Reilly "Apache: The Definitive Guide", but when I
first access the web pages (from my online site) the browser (Konqueror)
displays the HTML code, not the web page.  I suspect I haven't finished the
setup and there is a simple directive that I've not included in the .conf
file, which currently contains only:
****************
User webuser
Group webgroup
ServerName spyder
DocumentRoot /web/site.burps
****************
But I'm too impatient to read the entire book first.  If anyone can give me
clues as to where to look I'd appreciate it.
