Re: Problem with Apache2 after upgrade from Ubuntu14.04 to 16.04

My experience with upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 is apache does not upgrade well at all, had it happen on several servers already in the past.

I would suggest backup your entire etc/apache2 folder or rename it /etc/apache_backup/

Then uninstall apache and purge it, uninstall PHP and purge it and then reinstall both Apache and PHP

Then you will get a clean Apache with PHP 7, then move your sites back into /etc/apache2/sites-available/ one at a time, enable them one at a time and test as you go along.

Good luck

Subject:  Problem with Apache2 after upgrade from Ubuntu14.04 to 16.04

Hi

Newbie to the forum here so I hope I'm doing this right.  If not please would someone guide me.  Thx in advance.

As the subject line says Apache2 is not working at all / satisfactorily since the Ubuntu upgrade.  The details follow:

===========================

Here is my full post on askubuntu:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/904042/upgrade-to-16-04-lts-has-broken-apache

Currently the biggest help I could get would be if someone would decipher what the following output means when I do :

systemctl status apache2.service

output:
===============
Code:

purvez@127:~$ systemctl status apache2.service

purvez@127:~$


The MAIN question is : Is Apache started and functioning or is it inactive (dead)?

The last line of the output suggests that it is working but the 5th / 6th line from the top suggests the opposite.

The errorlog is blank and the accesslog is blank as well since the day of the upgrade.
===========================
Thanks in advance
