Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

[Andrew Mathenge]

Yes, creating the symbolic links will tell apache to load the modules
required, but from an earlier post, geo wrote that there is NO
/etc/apache2/modules folder!

That's critical. If the folder is missing, then the
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load file is pointing to a
non-existing file. That has to be resolved first.

The file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so must be installed on the
system or PHP will NOT work.
