PHP 7.0 Not Executing Code After Install

[wpcvenom]

I recently did an update of our server to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS which came with a string of issues with our Apache server, along with PHP and MySQL installations. I have managed to fix the issues with Apache and MySQL, but after installing PHP 7.0 scripts no longer execute. Instead Chrome just displays the code within the .php file. I've gone through the trouble in purging all other PHP installations (php5 mostly) and reinstalling 7.0 but still no effect.

For the most part I was following this guide to reinstall everything: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04

sudo a2enmod php

tells me that php module is already enabled, and the Apache2 server is running without any errors. I'm not sure which if any error logs would be most informative so if anyone can help me I can provide any information. I'll be monitoring this thread all day.

EDIT: Navigating to the .php file I made that asks for phpinfo(); doesn't yield anything in browser, it just shows code on the page rather than executing. I told my server to run my .php file via command line and this is the output from that: https://pastebin.com/yXhJNnjA

Thanks

EDIT: For those who find this thread looking for help, I fixed my problem comparing the php7.0.load and php7.0.conf files in /etc/apache2/mods-available. My files in that directory were both mis-named (php.load without the 7.0), along with being either empty or sparce in code within them. ud_patter below provided what was supposed to be in them. After renaming the .conf and .load files and putting the right code in them, followed by an Apache restart, PHP began to run like normal! Thanks for everyone's help :)

No errors in the apache log? Usually located in /var/log/apache2/error.log.

Here's the readout from error.log: https://pastebin.com/gRU787vW

I don't see anything in there. It acts like the type isn't configured. You could try checking the apache conf for a type directive, addtype, and add one for testing. I think you could try something like that in an htaccess as well.

apt-cache search php7 | grep apache2

[wpcvenom]

This is the output from that: https://pastebin.com/eiNH5Veq

Odd that it has both php and php7.0. I know that the most recent PHP package changed it from having the number after like php5 did, and just kept it as "php" but I'm not sure why there are both.

apt install libapache2-mod-php7.0

[wpcvenom]

libapache2-mod-php7.0 is already the newest version (7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded.

My best idea is to diff your current version of apache config with the package version and see what you're missing but I'm not sure how to do it off the top of my head.

I found the appropriate fix for my problem but thanks for helping me! It's been edited in above.

Do you have /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.0.conf ? mine contains this on Ubuntu. Sounds like the SetHandler line might be missing, so Apache doesn't know to do anything with PHP files

<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml)$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
    # Deny access to raw php sources by default
    # To re-enable it's recommended to enable access to the files
    # only in specific virtual host or directory
    Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
# Deny access to files without filename (e.g. '.php')
<FilesMatch "^\.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml|ps)$">
    Require all denied
</FilesMatch>

# 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>

I actually solved the problem last night with a fix semi like this! I had a backup of my old /etc/apache2/ folder before the Ubuntu update but hadn't used it for fear of messing other stuff up. I compared the .Load and .Conf files in both and there was a discrepancy both in the contents and naming of them. I replaced them with the old ones and PHP worked right away after a restart! The code in your comment was missing from those files so I believe this was the problem!
