I'm trying to enable mod_php on Ubuntu. I'm getting
/etc$ sudo a2enmod mod_php
ERROR: Module mod_php does not exist!
But I believe it's already installed from
etc$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

libapache2-mod-php5 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 91 not upgraded.
Any advice?
I would try this command: sudo a2enmod php5
Also, please look here. There's an extremely good chance you don't even need "a2enmod" to get things working:
Did you try mod_php5? Haven't used ubuntu in a couple years but I think you can look at the module names in /etc/apache2/mods-available (and even symlink them to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, which is pretty much what a2en does
On Mageia5 you can enable it like this:
urpmi apache-mod_php
systemctl restart httpd.service
Running this command, should install Apache 2.x and install the latest validated PHP and enable it as well. (Validated with Ubuntu).
sudo apt-get install apache php
If PHP is not installed, run with php5.6 or php7.0 or php7.1 or php7.2 instead.
sudo apt-get install apache php5.6
sudo apt-get install apache php7.0
sudo apt-get install apache php7.1
sudo apt-get install apache php7.2
You way want to checkout ondrej/php if your Ubuntu doesn't include the latest PHP version.
