Enable PHP Apache2

You have two ways to enable it.

First, you can set the absolute path of the php module file in your httpd.conf file like this:

LoadModule php5_module /path/to/mods-available/libphp5.so

Second, you can link the module file to the mods-enabled directory:

ln -s /path/to/mods-available/libphp5.so /path/to/mods-enabled/libphp5.so

You can use a2enmod or a2dismod to enable/disable modules by name.

From terminal, run: sudo a2enmod php5 to enable PHP5 (or some other module), then sudo service apache2 reload to reload the Apache2 configuration.

If anyone gets

ERROR: Module phpX.X does not exist!

just install the module for your current php version:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-phpX.X
