You configure this the same way that you tell the server that .php (or whatever) should be run through the PHP parser. The difference is that you set it up so that instead of getting parsed and interpreted, the code is parsed and colour-coded, then printed. For instance, my development server's httpd.conf has this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html ...which, assuming the server has PHP, tells it to interpret files ending in .php or .html. Since this server is behind a firewall and usually not on the Internet at all anyway, I also have this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps ...which tells the server to parse .phps files and display the source output. However, I still can't enter any old PHP-parsed file's filename with a .phps extension and view its source. There must actually exist a file with that name in order for this to work. For instance, say I have my server set up to parse .html files as PHP code. Further suppose that I have an index.html with all sorts of PHP code in it which makes it work. Looking for index.phps will avail me nothing (yet), since no such file exists. However, if I symlink or copy index.html to index.phps, voila! I can now enter 'index.phps' into my browser and view the source.
