I have successfully solved this problem by using this command: sudo a2dismod php7.0 then i restart apache2, it work normally.
This happened for me after I upgraded MySQL from 5.5.55 to 5.7.x. Not sure if it's related, but know from my experience that moving forward PHP to 7 and MySQL to 5.7 or greater and making everything play together nicely isn't always straightforward.
Anyway.. I did this:
a2dismod php7.0 //now it tells me to restart
service apache2 restart //it worked! But I want php7.0
//let's try and get it back
a2enmod php7.0 //oops, get this message: `ERROR: Module php5 is enabled - cannot proceed due to conflicts. It needs to be disabled first!`
a2dismod php5 //I don't need this for any of my sites
service apache2 restart
a2enmod php7.0 //it works with no errors indicated
service apache2 restart //and, we're good to go!
For me it helped to delete the
php5.conf
in ../mods-enabled/
There were both php7.conf and php5.conf in ../mods-enabled/.
I use php7.0 on Ubuntu 16 and php5.3 is installed with phpbrew but off...
In my case the problem was upgrade of apache/php that added 2 symbolic links in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled:
php5.conf -> ../mods-available/php5.conf
php5.load -> ../mods-available/php5.load
Although I have now PHP 7.1, so removal of them fixed the problem.
