Apache2 does not run php files

Question

My php files do not run in the browser when I access the localhost (var/www/html/index.php). The code is displayed as if it were a common text file.

Configs of the system: Apache2 Ubuntu 18.04 LRS Php 7.2.0

Any problem with installation (apache2 or php) or configuration?

Answer 1

I managed to solve. If someone had the same problem, first I uninstalled php:

sudo apt-get purge php7.*

then installed again

sudo apt-get install php

and enabled for apache 2

sudo a2enmod php7.0

sudo systemctl restar apache2
