apache not running php after installing PHP gd library

I have installed LAMP on my EC2 instance which is running on AMAZON linux. Here are the packages installed 

Installed Packages
httpd24.x86_64                          2.4.25-1.68.amzn1                    @amzn-updates
mysql56-server.x86_64                   5.6.35-1.23.amzn1                    @amzn-updates
php70.x86_64                            7.0.14-1.20.amzn1                    @amzn-updates
php70-mysqlnd.x86_64                    7.0.14-1.20.amzn1                    @amzn-updates

I have checked by running PHP file from /php.info.

But after installing php5-gd everything got broken. Apache starts serving test file and when running PHP file it is just giving me plain text.

Since you are working with PHP 7, you need to use gd package php7.0-gd rather than php5-gd. You can read about the php7.0-gd package here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/php7.0-gd

You could also find the following page on gd and php version requirements for various versions useful http://php.net/manual/en/image.requirements.php
