PHP not executing

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache2 and PHP7.

For some reason,probably after I updated the PHP version,it is no longer executing. This is the output of

php -v:

PHP 7.0.8-3+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 (cli) ( NTS ) Copyright (c)
1997-2016 The PHP Group Zend Engine v3.0.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2016
Zend Technologies with Zend OPcache v7.0.8-3+deb.sury.org~trusty+1,
Copyright (c) 1999-2016, by Zend Technologies

The root folder is /var/www/html

The PHP.conf is configured correctly,I believe.

When I add

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps 

And try to load a PHP script then it gets downloaded and not loaded in the browser.

Any ideas?

I appreciate it!

You should be able to fix your problem by running the following commands

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0
sudo a2dismod php*
sudo a2enmod php7.0
sudo apache2ctl restart

After adding Ondrej's repository, installing PHP 7 may not be enough as you will also need to install and enable Apache's PHP module for the version of PHP you need.

This may be reason why PHP works in CLI mode, but not with Apache.

Note: I haven't tested sudo a2dismod php* on Ubuntu 14.04, but in case it doesn't work, just type sudo a2dismod php and tap the tab button so php auto-completes to whichever PHP version is enabled.
