Webserver not displaying PHP page
I have provisioned an apache webserver with a custom user for content management, created a http-docs root directory in /var/, and assigned ownership to the user with the usual chown stuff, yada yada yada, and basically the basic stuff works.
I've uploaded some content and it displays when accessing via HTTP & HTTPS.
What totally confuses me is that the PHP pages for managing my CMS do not display, whereas a web-shell does.
In case it is relevant I am using the Armadillo CMS that is available as a RapidWeaver plugin. It depends on Apache, PHP, and MySQL and all these requirements are (apparently) met. Furthermore I can exclude MySQL as being at fault since I need to access the admin/setup page in order to provision the system, and insofar as it keeps turning up blank, I have not been able to even attempt to configure it.
While inspecting the relevant .php file from within the server's filesystem the file is populated with valid PHP code.
What am I doing wrong? What have I forgotten to do?
Thanks.

Check the apache logs, then check the php/cms logs.

@qubex, copy-paste it to terminaltail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log. After, just access to your webpage from web-browser. Please show result, which will be displayed in Terminal. Sometimes this problem can be resolved by installing php5-mysql

I assume when you installed php you used something like
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
Did you remember to modify Apache so it looks for .php before .html?
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
It should look something like this:
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.cgi index.pl index.xhtml index.htm
</IfModule>
Note that index.php should be the first.
Once change has been made you just need to restart the server
sudo service apache2 restart
