@juan it is very odd that wordpress is working fine. Are there any noticeable differences in the apache config for your wordpress site and other sites that aren’t working?

I tried both ways. I do not understand why wordpress works and the rest is not

Are you using short tags <? or long tags <?php to run PHP within the webpages (phpinfo etc)?

Hi @juan,

I suggest taking a look at our tutorial on installing the LAMP stack, specifically the section on installing PHP correctly, to ensure that PHP is installed and running on your system: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04#step-3-install-php

Let us know how it goes and please do say if you need further help with this!

- Matt.
