Apache doesn't execute PHP files, but makes me download them

So I setup my server using this tutorial, and when the test.php file works with no problem when I enter the address using my server's IP as

http://1.2.3.4/test.php

However, if I use virtualhosts, the browser just offers to download the file rather than executing it. So this:

http://blog.mydomain.com/test.php

offers to download the file rather than executing the script.

The code I use in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf for virtual hosts is the following:

Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf



<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot /path/to/vhosts/folder1

    ServerName www.mydomain.com

</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>

    DocumentRoot /path/to/vhosts/folder2

    ServerName blog.mydomain.com

</VirtualHost>



NameVirtualHost *:80

Though I have to say that when I restart the apache2 server I get a warning message:

[....] Restarting web server: apache2

[Sun Jan 19 13:33:40 2014] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts ... waiting [Sun Jan 19 13:33:41 2014] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

I found the solution here. It turns out I had to enable some modules...

Taken from this Stack Overflow answer by user1075581:

This finally put me on the right path:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/php-not-working-on-one-vhost-but-works-on-all-others-851093/

Here's the solution:

In the <Directory> section, I included these lines:
<IfModule sapi_apache2.c>

    php_admin_flag engine on

</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

    php_admin_flag engine on

</IfModule>
Or, a redacted copy/paste of the solution on my server:
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/A2/httpdocs">

    <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>

        php_admin_flag engine on

    </IfModule>

    <IfModule mod_php5.c>

        php_admin_flag engine on

    </IfModule>
