I needed to setup a local LAMP with a specific version of PHP (7.1). On a brand new install of 18.04, I first installed Apache and MySQL. Then I followed this guide to install PHP from ppa:ondrej/php and finished up with installing phpMyAdmin, which worked fine.
My php install was
sudo apt install php7.1 libapache2-mod-php7.1 php7.1-mysql php7.1-mbstring
For my site test, I ran a virtual hosts script that has worked for me on 16.04. Everything looked like it worked, apart for manually having to chown the public_html directory. My problem is, trying to access my test file at info.dev returns the page error info.dev refused to connect. and ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
PHP seems to be working because I successfully called infophp() from the apache test page.
Can someone suggest something, please?
