    The issue is that the php module is disabled in Catalina. You have to enable it in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Follow these steps.

    1. Open Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Enter password when prompted.
    2. Find #LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so and uncomment it (delete the leading #)
    3. To make Apache use index.php first,

    scroll down and find the following

    <IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>

    change to

    <IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
    1. Press Control + X then Y to save changes. Press enter when prompted for filename
    2. Restart apache by typing sudo apachectl restart

    Now your site root should work since php is enabled.

    Quick note to say that the httpd.conf is exactly the same in Big Sur, so the same changes as above need to be applied.
