As of today  2015  Aug   1st   Apache2 in Debian Jessie  you need to edit   root host  etc apache2 mods-enabled  vi dir conf    And change the order of that line  bringing index php to the first position   DirectoryIndex index php index html index cgi index pl index xhtml index htm

As others have noted  most likely you don t have  html set up to handle php code   Having said that  if all you re doing is using index html to include index php  your question should probably be  how do I use index php as index document   In which case  for Apache  httpd conf   search for DirectoryIndex and replace the line with this  will only work if you have dir module enabled  but that s default on most installs    DirectoryIndex index php   If you use other directory indexes  list them in order of preference i e   DirectoryIndex index php index phtml index html index htm

PHP will work only on the  php file extension   If you are on Apache you can also set  in your httpd conf file  the extensions for PHP  You ll have to find the line   AddType application x-httpd-php  php  html                                              and add how many extensions  that should be read with the PHP interpreter  as you want
