Open the file by clicking on your finder then press Command-Shift-G then key in /private/etc/apache2/ then open up httpd.conf using your TextEdit application.
Search for the line with:
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
Then uncomment the line to become:

Another way to do this is to type the following in the Terminal application:
