I stopped using Apache. Now I am running my site with Nginx and I am happy with it!!

Thanks for all the reply.

Hey, found your question while having the same issue (when upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04.1).

In my case, it seems the PHP module was not enabled in Apache, so the following command had to be run:

sudo a2enmod php7.2

After that, restart the Apache2 service:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

That would be it. I hope it works for you!

For any one having this trouble this is what I did,

i)First Run this two code,

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php and sudo service apache2 reload

ii)and after this if you get error like “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.” then run the next two commands(this is meant for php 7),

sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd-ms and sudo service apache2 reload

This should fix the problem.
