LAMP：PHP无法正常工作（保留下载源文件而不是显示页面）

Question

I bought online a server and installed on in (with 1-click, I didn't configure anything) LAMP. I now need to create a dynamic page using php, but if a create a file "test.php" with the following code:

<?php
echo "Hello!";
?>

When I connect to " http://serverIP/test.php " instead of showing me an empty page which says "Hello!" it keeps downloading test.php on my computer as a file!

Please note: 'test.php' is in /var/www/html with index.html and many others .html files that work correctly. If I type "php -v" in the command-line it says that php 7.0.22-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 is installed. When I type "a2enmod php7.0" it says "Module php7.0 alredy enabled". With LAMP i got installed Ubuntu 16.04 and Apache 2.4.18 (Ubuntu).

I'm quite a newbie, so please help me... I have been searching for a solution for 3 days.

This is my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file (withot all the comments):

Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default

#the following lines are what I added
LoadModule php7_module modules/libphp7.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

By the way, I can't see a folder named "modules" in "/etc/apache2"

Answer 1

You haven't loaded your module

LoadModule php7_module 
modules/libphp7.so

Answer 2

原来LAMP使用的是nginx而不是Apache ...问题在这里解决了
