How do I get Apache to read php3?

[stalione]

I knwo this is soemthing very simple...but I can't get it to work. If the file is with extension .php, Apache displays it just fine. but if the extention is php3 then apache won't parse it. I get a 403 error code (access forbidden). Where in httpd.conf do i need to specify to fix this problem.
Thanks,

1. Check in httpd.conf (it is usual in /etc/httpd/conf) if the following are there:

<IfDefine HAVE_PHP3>
LoadModule php3_module path_to/libphp3.so
</IfDefine>

<IfDefine HAVE_PHP3>
AddModule mod_php3.c
</IfDefine>

and if are not commented
2. Check if "path_to" is correct!
Try to locate where are located libphp3.so file with the command:
locate libphp3.so
