enable php on apache2 (using Ubuntu 16.04)

I've installed Apache2 on my Ubuntu 16.04.1 System.

I want to install and activate PHP7.0 on my Webserver too.

I installed php and tried to activate the module in Apache2.

When restarting the server, I get:

Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

When I execute "systemctl status apache2.service, I get:

-- Unit apache2.service has begun starting up.
Jan 30 12:19:58 tom-450-a141ng apache2[29920]:  * Starting Apache httpd web server apache2

Jan 30 12:19:58 tom-450-a141ng sudo[29892]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

So I can't start Apache anymore.

I've searched everywhere for a solution.

Plz help

As you need to install php7, just remove the currently installed one using-

sudo apt-get purge php*

and then run

sudo apt-get -y install php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0

Then you can install other modules as per your need using-

apt-get -y install php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-intl php-pear php-imagick php7.0-imap php7.0-mcrypt php-memcache

systemctl restart apache2

The error "[Mon Jan 30 12:19:58.942761 2017] [:crit] [pid 29935:tid 140264661432192] Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe." describes that you are using a threaded MPM, that is, event or worker, but your mod_php module depends on a php installation that is not thread-safe, thus you can only use it with prefork.

If you want to use a threaded MPM (which is fine, a good idea too and I recommend it too), you should not use mod_php, you should use php-fpm instead.

You will find how to configure it in the Official Apache Wiki

You can do this directly with below command

sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt
