Ubuntu – How to Enable mod_php On Apache

apache-2.2PHPUbuntu

It seems that I cannot enable the mod_php on apache2 using the latest Ubuntu Server.

when I run: sudo a2enmod php5

I get this error: ERROR: Module php5 does not exist!

however I am convinced I have php installed correctly. I have even gone as far as uninstalling Apache and reinstalling.

Further research on my own question I was able to enable php by running:

sudo a2enmod php7.1

And then restarting Apache using:

sudo service apache2 restart

It looks like I was just trying to enable the incorrect mod.

Linux – PHP not being parsed in apache2, php module is installed and enabled

When I do the same grep of my config files, I get one line you didn't:

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf:3:          DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml index.htm

Make sure this line in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini is set this way:

; Enable the PHP scripting language engine under Apache.
engine = On

If you change it, restart Apache:

sudo apache2ctl restart

The Apache functions are only available if running the httpd SAPI, also known as mod_php.

The stock CentOS PHP packages make mod_php available, so they are enough to allow them. If you need a newer version than the stock packages then you will need to find newer packages somewhere, or you will need to build PHP or the PHP packages yourself with the proper SAPI.
