Did you switched PHP modules on Apache? You should first disable PHP5.6 module then enable PHP7 module and restart Apache.
To disable PHP5.6 on Apache execute :

  • sudo a2dismod php5.6

Now you should enable PHP7 ones:

  • sudo a2enmod php7.0

To reflect changes Apache restart is required:

  • sudo systemctl restart apache2

Try again phpinfo, and report is it or we need to try something other. :)
Edit: try with php5.5 if php5.6 returns not exist module, I noticed it late :P

    I have done this, but Apache returned error:

    The apache2 instance did not start within 20 seconds. Please read the log files to discover problems

      I guess log file will give you more information.

      Can you find something in /var/log/apache2/error.log

      Open it with any text editor e.g. nano /var/log/apache2/error.log and look there for any errors

          Not something that describes a lot. Do you have any other log?

          Hmmm, maybe it is PHP module mismatch.
          What if you execute:

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

          If that fails you can try:

          • sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php

          Try to start Apache again and look again at logs if there is error

            Libapache2 is already installed:

            libapache2 mod php7 is already the newest version

            Three last errors are:

            [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 8175] AH00163: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4 configured -- resuming normal operations

            [core:notice] [pid 8175] AH00094: Command line: '/usr/sbin/apache2'

            [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 8175] AH00169: caught SIGTERM, shutting down

          I can’t reply to latest comment.
          Looks like it is absolutely trying to use php5.

          Verify enabled mods:

          • ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php*

          You can also check whole directory :

          • ls -la /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

          You should not have any trace of php5 there. If you find report what you have

          Again not being able to reply.
          You have php5 module enabled. You can try to disable it if you don’t use.
          Try 

          • sudo a2dismod php5filter

          Check again for PHP5 modules. If you find php5filter again,
          remove php5filter.conf and php5filter.load
          You can also remove that package :

          • sudo apt-get remove libapache2-mod-php5filter

          Try again to start Apache and post logs if not working
