SO I'm trying to install Moodle using Ubuntu and I followed the instructions from https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/how-to-install-moodle-on-ubuntu-server-2004/ , but when I type localhost/moodle on my browser, it just displays the PHP code which I'll add. I should be displayed with the Moodle installation steps right? I can't imagine it would be a problem with Moodle itself but rather a PHP issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I looked at the modules in my httpd.conf file, but when adding "LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so" apache throws an error when attempting to restart.
CodePudding user response：
Please search in Apache configs for DocumentRoot setting.
This setting contains the root directory where apache starts running from.
In apache2 the default root directory is \var\www\html, and the apache2 settings file location is \etc\apache2\sites-available\default-ssl.conf. maybe it's similar in Apache.
So you need to locate moodle directory based on DocumentRoot value. or change this setting value.
CodePudding user response：
Please check if the php is installed properly or not. You can check the same by running php -v in the terminal.
If it is installed and all needed php modules for moodle are there on the system, please run the following command and ensure the file looks like below.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
The file should look like this (The sequence of file extension matters a lot)
After ensuring / editing file as per above, restart the apache2 server with
sudo systemctl reload apache2 and try to open moodle. It should work fine!
