After the installation of PHP 5.6 did you restart apache with service apache2 restart so the change would take effect?

It appears that there are a lot of threads on the VestaCP forums on upgading PHP and while for some it has been a straightforward process (most often for those running fresh installations) for others there were problems. It also appears that work is underway but reported as 0% done to get VestaCP ready for Ubuntu 16.04 so upgrading is not yet an option.

After more test, I tried with this:

a2dismod php5

And

a2enmod php5.6

The result is: Image of php

Remember change template for example edit one website -> select template hosting -> save and select the same website -> template default and save

The step is correct for process?
