You shouldn't really be editing the Apache config at all.

To enable PHP, do 'sudo a2enmod php4' (or, php5 if you have that
instead) - that tells apache2 to enable the php4/5 module.

I don't know .shtml very well, but presume this is server-side includes?
You need to a2enmod include for that.

Restart Apache once you've done it, and you should be away.

The only Apache config you really need to alter is setting up sites
in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ - if you touch other files, you know
you're doing it wrong ;)

Cheers,

Alex.
