root@mycompanyname:~#
Background:
Wanted to update php5.3 (5.3 PHP = 7.43 INR) to php5.5 (5.5 PHP = 7.72 INR) to do this followed steps given here.
After this apache2 stopped detecting php itself.
After lot of troubleshooting we removed php and apache2 using below commands:
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get purge apache2*
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get purge php*
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get autoremove
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get autoclean
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get clean
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get remove
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get purge
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get install
root@mycompanyname:~# dpkg -a -configure
after all this we tried to reinstall apache2 and started getting that error:
Just for reference here is the sources.list file for apt.
We are not facing any issues while using below commands:
root@mycompanyname:~# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
Please help! thanks in advance.
