Apache2 don't execute PHP 5.6 script after upgrade

Question

I've upgrade PHP 5.5 to 5.6. After this my Apache don't execute my PHP script.

With Iceweasel (Firefox) i have a blank page and with google chrome it's display the code source.

My code source:

<?php

    echo "test";
?>

I follow this intructions: Upgraded PHP now apache won`t execute php files anymore

I've installed libapache2-mod-php5.

And i've edited this file: /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf and I've commented these lines in this file:

# Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default
# 
# To re-enable PHP in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
#<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
#    <Directory /home/*/public_html>
#       php_admin_flag engine Off
#    </Directory>
#</IfModule>

Php websites don't work after changin php version

And of course I don't forget to restart Apache2.

My linux distribution is Kali.

What does "don't execute" mean? It returns the original source code? Are you using short PHP tags? — Álvaro González

(Incidentally, Iceweasel and other browsers will show you a blank page because they're interpreting everything from the < of <?php to the > of ?> as an unknown HTML element. You'd get the same behaviour with <wibble ...>, for example. You should always view the page source in your browser, or use a tool like curl or wget, to diagnose this kind of problem.) — Matt Gibson

You say you've installed the module and edited the /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.conf file, but you also need to check that the module is actually enabled.

Its module loader file, php5.load should appear in the /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory if it's enabled (it'll be a symbolic link to the file in mods-available). If it doesn't, you need to enable it with with sudo a2enmod php5 (and restart apache with service apache2 restart.)
