Problem

• API Portal install exists with "PHP could not be found as a module of Apache. Please configure it and restart the installation.".
• When "httpd -M | grep php7_module" is executed, php7_module is not listed.

Resolution

"php7_module" is an Apache module that is responsible for rendering PHP7 pages. It must be enabled in order to install API Portal.

1. Check the location of Apache's PHP7 module:
   
   

   find / -name *php7.s
   

2. Open httpd.conf in order to edit it. If you don't know where it is, you can check its location by:

   echo "$(httpd -V | grep -Po '(?<=HTTPD_ROOT=").*(?=")')/$(httpd -V | grep -Po '(?<=SERVER_CONFIG_FILE=").*(?=")')"
   

3. Above the line Include conf.modules.d/*, remove any existing entry for PHP and add:

   LoadModule php7_module <absolute file path of php7.so from step 1>
   AddType text/html .php
   DirectoryIndex index.php
   <IfModule  mod_php7.c>
       <FilesMatch \.php$>
           SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
       </FilesMatch>
   </IfModule>
   

4. Save the file and restart Apache:

   systemctl restart httpd
   

5. Check if php7_module is now active:

   httpd -M | grep php7_module
