Zabbix frontend is not interpreted as PHP after install

[Azure]

Dear Community!

I am trying to install Zabbix on a VPS.
Zabbix version: 3.4. Ubuntu version 14.04. Running MySQL

I have followed the installation instructions provided on https://www.zabbix.com/download (after selecting the above options). I can see from the "top" command that zabbix-server, zabbix-agentd and apache2 are running.

The problem is that when I try to view mywebsite/zabbix/ (where mywebsite is the URL to the webserver), the server returns the actual PHP file's content without interpreting it as PHP. In other words: I see the raw PHP code. I assume this to be a server configuration issue, but can not find a solution (google provided no help this time).

Has anyone experienced this issue before and/or has any idea how to deal with it?

Is a module for calling PHP from apache2 installed?

ex. libapache2-mod-php5

Hello

yes, libapache2-mod-php5 is installed

I tried installing on Zabbix 3.4.14 on Ubuntu 14.04.5, but no special setting was necessary.
Here is the command executed.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo reboot
$ wget http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.4/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_3.4-1%2Btrusty_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_3.4-1+trusty_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
$ sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
$ sudo service mysql restart
$ sudo apt-get install zabbix-agent zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php
$ sudo apt-get install snmp
$ mysql -uroot -p
mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> exit
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql/create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot zabbix -p
$ sudo vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zabbix.conf
$ sudo service zabbix-server start
$ sudo service apache2 restart

Please check the log file to see if there is an error when starting apache2.
It may also be useful to restart apache2.

Hello

It was probably not related to Zabbix, but general server settings. I gave up on that platform and installed Zabbix on a new version of ubuntu with no issues.

Hi!, recently I'm having a similar issue after installa zabbix, any advice?

my env:
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Codename: jammy

Having the same issue after upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04
maarguello what did you do to fix it?

[artooro]

For what it's worth, what resolved it for me is running the commands:

sudo a2enmod php8.1
sudo systemctl restart apache2

For some reason the ubuntu 22.04 upgrade left php7.4 enabled in apache2 instead of enabling php8.1.
