PHP版本升级“ apache2 configtest失败。”后如何解决此错误？

Question

I'm using ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS on my machine. I was using PHP 5.3.10 Now I upgraded to PHP 5.5.18 by using few commands on terminal. After I upgraded to latest PHP version I checked the version by using command php -v. It shown me the PHP version is 5.5.18. But when I tried to access one directory from the folder "www" ie document root I'm getting error "Unable to connect" in browser. When I enter only localhost in address bar "It Works" is the message appearing.

So I tried to restart the apache server ny using following command :

sudo service apache2 restart

then I got following error :

 * Restarting web server apache2                                         [fail] 
 * The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
apache2: Syntax error on line 214 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: No such file or directory
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

After reading this message I go to the file /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and checked line no. 214 there I got found following statement written :

Include httpd.conf

So can someone please help me in working the thing as it is like previous for me? Please suggest me the ways I can fix this issue.

Thanks on advance.

Answer 1

just do this:

a2dismod php5

OR

a2dismod php7.0

Answer 2

it also woked for me

sudo a2dismod php7.0

Module php7.0 disabled.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  service apache2 restart


mr@mr ~/Desktop $ sudo service apache2 restart
 * Restarting web server apache2

Answer 3

1. Check if two symbolic link there for php same version [cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/]

   • php7.load -> ../mods-available/php7.load

   • php7.load -> ../mods-available/php7.0.load

   • I have removed one of them according to my requirement

2. Check available modes in [/etc/apache2/mods-available/]

   • Php7.0.load

   • Php7.load

   • I have removed one of them [php7.load] Enable on of the mode restart apache server
