libapache2-mod-php7.2 Not working

Question

I'm using Wordpress, but then it stopped working. I then firgured out that it had something to do with apache2. I got that working but now when I get to the webpage, instead of executing the php file, I get the code. I tried re-installing the php apache2 module, but got this:

Preparing to unpack .../libapache2-mod-php7.2_7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking libapache2-mod-php7.2 (7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) over (7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ... Setting up libapache2-mod-php7.2 (7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1) ... Module mpm_event disabled. Enabling module mpm_prefork. apache2_switch_mpm Switch to prefork dpkg: error processing package libapache2-mod-php7.2 (--configure): installed libapache2-mod-php7.2 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Solution

It work for me same - sudo apt remove --purge libapache2-mod-php7.2 and then sudo apt install libapache2-mod-php*
