Apache trying to DL .php files instead of executing them

Hi everyone. Ive been running a linux Gentoo box for awhile, but im a
total newbie.

My problem: Everything was working fine. I have a static html page with
a bunch of links on it. I had a picture gallery running, and it was
running fine.

I went and updated portage, then it said I had x number of config files
that need updateing. I ran some command that like merged all my config
files. But it didnt really merge them, it blew out all my settings it
seems:(.

Now when I go to my picture gallery link, the browser tries to download
the PHP files. Ive read quite a bit on how to configure httpd.conf.

Heres a snippet from my httpd.conf

# Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support
#
# To be able to use the functionality of a module which was built as a
DSO you
# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so
the
# directives contained in it are actually available _before_ they are
used.
# Statically compiled modules (those listed by `httpd -l') do not need
# to be loaded here.
#
# The following modules are considered as the default configuration.
# If you wish to disable one of them, you may have to alter other
# configuration directives.
#
# You should always leave these three, as they are needed for normal
use.
# mod_access (Order, Allow, etc..)
# mod_log_config (Transferlog, etc..)
# mod_mime (AddType, etc...)
#
# Example:
# LoadModule foo_module modules/mod_foo.so

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

# Authentication Modules
#
# These modules provide authentication and authorization for
# clients. They should not normally be disabled.
#
LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so
LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so
LoadModule auth_anon_module modules/mod_auth_anon.so
LoadModule auth_dbm_module modules/mod_auth_dbm.so
LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so
....
....
DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/>
AllowOverride None
Options all
# Allow from all
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
</Directory>
#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with
respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
#<Directory />
# Options Indexes
# Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride None
#</Directory>

#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's
home
# directory if a ~user request is received.
# enable by adding -D USERDIR to /etc/conf.d/apache2
#
#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
# UserDir public_html
#</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
</IfModule>


#
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Indexes
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>
....
....


#
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#


I thought I had everything I needed in there. No errors appear in the
error log,I guess because the server is doing exactly what its being
told to do...just not what I WANT it to do!

Anyone know of a quick fix for this? Im fairly sure its the httpd.conf
that messed everything up.

Any help would be appreciated.

another bit of info....

heres a link to my server, and the info.php is working
http://zeppelin.yi.org/php/info.php

The picture gallery is in http://zeppelin.yi.org/gallery
