That generally means that the web server -- apache2? nginx? --
does not know how to hand the .php file off to a php processor.
For apache2, you would need to install libapache2-mod-php8.2 and
then run
a2enmod php8.2
and
service apache2 restart
Bingo! That's it! Thank-you so much, Dan!
libapache2-mod-php8.2 was already installed, so I just ran a2enmod and
restarted.
So, given that I purged everything and re-installed and it still didn't
work, is this indeed a packaging error? I've been running Debian for
well over 25 years (I started with a pre-release before buzz was
released) and I don't remember anything that didn't work after installing.
