manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I am trying to install php on my ubuntu machine. 1st I install apache2 on machine.... after that I install php7

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0 php7.0-common php7.0-gd php7.0-mysql php7.0-mcrypt php7.0-curl php7.0-intl php7.0-xsl php7.0-mbstring php7.0-zip php7.0-bcmath php7.0-iconv

after that I restart my apache2 service apache2 restart

but still php is not working when I try to browse php page from localhost.

php -v

is also showing me output.... and telling me the php version.

in error log file of apche2 I got errors

restart

If you install libapache2-mod-php7.0 in addition to libapache2-mod-php5 it will not enable itself (you should see this in {apt,dpkg}.log), so you need to disable php5 module and enable php7.0 module:

a2dismod php5

a2enmod php7.0

apache2ctl restart

P.S.: You should read what the packages tells you at the installation time. Running apt-get with -y is a quite sure way how to miss important stuff.
