I just did this...  Install package php4 and read

/usr/share/doc/php4-cgi/README.Debian

It tells about putting a line

Action application/x-httpd-php /cgi-bin/php4

in apache2.conf.  Do that (along with what you already did).

Then go to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, and do

# ln -s ../mods-available/cgi.load
# ln -s ../mods-available/actions.load

Restart apache2.  That worked for me.
