If you are testing it from a browser rather than the shell, you will need to get apache up and running first. If you already have apache working, check the error log in /etc/httpd/logs/.

Hows your file permissons in your web dir, while extremely insecure i chmod'd mine to 777. Nothing in my web dir is passwd protected so its not a worry for me. From my past experiance, if PHP simply isnt working, and your index file is a .php file, it will display the contents like a .txt file, if PHP is working but doesnt have correct permissions, it will be a white page. try as a test to chmod -R 777 /var/

or wherever your html files are.
