I have enabled php7.1 on my website as shown here but no php pages seem to load on my website, they just all come up as default code. I have tried enabling php5.6 and disabling 7.1 but that does not change anything. I am very confused why it doesnt work.

I am on apache2.4 and ubuntu 16.04

This is what I see in my apache error.log file

[Fri Feb 10 11:14:46.817334 2017] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 3144] AH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down
[Fri Feb 10 11:14:47.725712 2017] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 3464] AH00163: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) PHP/7.1.1-1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Fri Feb 10 11:14:47.725854 2017] [core:notice] [pid 3464] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

And when I run

apache2 -e debug

I get this

[Fri Feb 10 11:16:32.582974 2017] [core:warn] [pid 3511] AH00111: Config variable ${APACHE_LOG_DIR} is not defined

Do you have mod_php enabled or are you using php-fpm? – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:35
Um, not sure, how can I find out? – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 08:36
Try "sudo a2enmod php5" or "sudo a2enmod php7.0" depending on which version you have now.. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:38
Also check the output of this: "apachectl -V | grep MPM", if it is prefork, you can use mod_php, otherwise you need to use php-fpm. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:39
It says prefork so I guess I can use mod_php – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 08:41
Yes, then you need to check that you have PHP installed and mod_php enabled. After enabling the module, restart apache "apachectl restart". – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:42
Where do I enable mod_php? Sorry – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 08:44
With that a2enmod command – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:44
I thought so but it says it doesn't exist – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 08:45
What does this output for you "ls /etc/apache2/mods-available/ | grep -i php"? – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:51
`php5.6.conf php5.6.load php7.0.conf php7.0.load php7.1.conf php7.1.load` – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 08:52
Ok.. the selected version only should be found as a symbolic link in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:53
Now that i checked that link which you provided, it seems that your php is ok. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 08:55
That's what I am confused about. None of my php pages seem to load properly – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 09:08
That PHP page seemed to load properly, which ones arent loading? You should check apache error_log for error messages regarding those pages. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 10:03
That's what also confuses me, there is nothing in the logs about it – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 10:13
And for example if I go on my forum page or my phpldapadmin dont seem to load properly – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 11:09
With this amount of information it is impossible to help you. You need to enble logging for those pages and get some logs here etc. – StefanR Feb 10 '17 at 11:12
I seem to think I have enabled logging for the pages but I dont think its seeming to get logged :/ – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 11:13
@HarryCameron: Please don't add this kind of information as a comment, it's useless and unreadable. Use the `edit` button, add it to the post and use the formatting tools to make it legible. – Sven Feb 10 '17 at 11:20
There we go, its updated – Harry Cameron Feb 10 '17 at 11:23
