PHP pages not working externally

I have setup PHP Version 5.2.6 with Apache2 on a Ubuntu 9.04 Server. Simple 
php scripts are working fine but others simply just hang in the browser. A 
script with a print statement http://83.244.227.165/test.php works fine but 
if i try and do phpinfo http://83.244.227.165/test2.php it will not work.

However, both examples work fine from the machine locally or from any 
computer inside the LAN.

any help would be appreciated!!
