Apache not working after macOS Mojave update - php

Question

Ok, after update macOS from High Sierra to Mojave, Apache with PHP stop working properly, so I did everything as is said in this guide - https://getgrav.org/blog/macos-mojave-apache-multiple-php-versions
but after that, still apache not working properly, sometimes working, sometimes not, and its says in browsers ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED or other errors like 404 or 500.
In apache log is:

I have faced similar issue with PHP 5.6 as it was running fine before Mojave upgrade. I did the following to resolve the issue successfully:
Run the command below
sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
make sure the below modules are uncommented:
LoadModule authz_core_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_core.so
LoadModule authz_host_module libexec/apache2/mod_authz_host.so
LoadModule userdir_module libexec/apache2/mod_userdir.so
LoadModule include_module libexec/apache2/mod_include.so
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
I have added the missing one in httpd.conf
Check the right php module for you (PHP 5.6 ot 7.x) and load the required module too by adding the line or commenting/uncommenting the lines
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
OR
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
Comment the one not needed by adding "#" to start of line
Run below commands for apapche restart and test
a. sudo apachectl restart
b. apachectl configtest
Check for any errors there
For PHP 5.6:
In case you were having the php 5 with brew already in system before upgarde and the above changes gives error as below
"httpd: Syntax error on line 180 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): image not found"
Then search for libphp5.so in the system and if found copy it to "/usr/libexec/apache2/"
In my case command was
sudo cp ./local/Cellar/php#5.6/5.6.25_1/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so /usr/libexec/apache2/
This all made things working in my system

Further to adang's reply i also had to uncomment this line:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
in order for it to know what user directories were available.
Within /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
I had to uncomment this line:
Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf
then:
sudo apachectl restart

I had the same issue after installing the Mac OS Mojave.
I have done the following steps and it worked with me:
brew update
then:
brew upgrade
I have edited /etc/apache2/httpd.conf by uncommenting the following line:
LoadModule php7_module libexec/apache2/libphp7.so
Open the terminal and restart the apache server:
sudo apachectl restart

Answer 4

I followed the instructions in the above answers and still got a 403 Forbidden when trying to access my /Users/myuser/Sites/ folder. To fix this I had to change the user in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf from _www to my own user.
To do this edit your httpd.conf file using your favorite editor /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Look for:
User _www
replace with your user:
User myuser
then restart apache:
sudo apachectl restart

Answer 5

because the topic is the httpd.conf messed up after Mojave upgrade I got also this error during sudo apachectl configtest
Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using XXX. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
I found out the #ServerName localhost:80 in the httpd.conf was comented out, uncommenting resolved my issue.
