[Discuss] Having trouble browsing a backed-up MediaWiki (PHP) site.

[Alan W. Irwin]

Since I got no response to my first detailed question I will boil this down
to something which I hope is really simple enough for the apache and PHP 
gurus here to answer; how do I set up apache on my local machine so that I
get the same browsing experience for downloaded (with wget) files like
/home/irwin/public_html/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page (viewed with a
browser as the URL
http://localhost/~irwin/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) as I do for
the original PHP-generated pages like
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

?

When I browse the localhost URL above corresponding to the downloaded file,
I simply get a view of the source code for the page, and it is not rendered.
How can I fix that?
