Apache start libphp7.3.so not found

Question

I have Install php 7.3 and apache2 but when I try to start apache2 , I have this error :

service apache2 start

apache2: Syntax error on line 146 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.3.load: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.3.so into server:   /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I really don't know how to resolve this problem, I have tried to remove and reinstall without success.

Answer 1

You're getting that error because the PHP 7.3 library for Apache is not installed.

sudo apt install -y libapache2-mod-php7.3

The above command should fix it.
