Php – Upgrade from PHP 7.0 to 7.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 not working

PHPubuntu-16.04

I am sucessfully running 7.0 and would like to upgrade to 7.1.

So far I've done the following,

sudo service apache2 stop
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install php7.1 php7.1-common
sudo a2enmod php7.1
sudo service apache2 start

Now, php -v gives me 7.1.1 but phpinfo() is saying 7.0.15

What am I missing, is there a config file I need to change somewhere?

Thanks for any help!

This might be also that you have installed your php7.1 but the php7.0 mod is still enabled.

In the cli if you run php -v you have the correct version 7.1 but in the phpinfo() you will see php7.0. Disable php 7.0 with sudo a2dismod php7.0 and you will have 7.1 working properly.

Linux – In Ubuntu I make changes to php.ini but nothing happens

I've had the same problem with an earlier version of Ubuntu (12.04), Apache 2.2.22 and php5-fpm fastCGI flavour of PHP. Doing

service apache2 restart

isn't enough, because it just restarts the http server: you have to issue also the command

service php5-fpm restart

to have the application server restarted and PHP read the php.ini file again.

Php – Debian apache2 is not executing php scripts, instead it’s showing the source

Okay, I have fixed it.

I have removed the following:

# Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default
# 
# To re-enable PHP in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
        php_admin_flag engine Off
    </Directory>
</IfModule>

From /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf and restarted apache and PHP now works.
