Updated to php 8.1.7 – now only serving index.php as text

Hello all,

I’m a somewhat noob when in all this so my apologies if I am missing something simple.

I have a site up and running on a Digital Ocean Ubuntu 20.044 LTS server with apache2, all has been screaming along awesomely until this morning when I updated the server through apt.

Truth be told I was doing 5 things at once and I just didn’t pay too much attention while doing it.

So it seems I updated php to 8.1.7 and now when I go to the site I am only serving up the contents of index.php as text.

Same holds true for mysite.com/phpinfo.php it only returns: <?php phpinfo(); ?>

So obviously I have an issue preventing my webserver from handling php as code instead of simple text.

I assume it has something to do with phi.ini but I thought I would reach out here first.

I sure could use a push in the right direction…

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

Cheers!
