WordPress/PHP Installation Problem

    Hello Everyone,

    I just bought a Raspberry PI 3 and in the process of setting it up as a Web Server using WordPress The Raspberry forum folks sent me over here to you all for assistance. I followed the installation tutorial to the letter for setting up APACHE2. Then I get to the WordPress configuration and ran across an issue. The issue seems to be with PHP. It says that I should be getting a WordPress Welcome page, but all I get is:

    “Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn’t do anything, but loads we-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme”

    I even tried to go to the site/wordpress/wp-admin and php code showed up on that page as well. So it seems like php is the cultprit.

    Any ideas on how to continue or fix this?

    Someone on the Raspberry forum told me to try this and IT FINALLY WORKED!

    Tried as suggested:

    sudo a2dismod mpm_event
    sudo a2enmod php7.0
    sudo systemctl restart apache2

    Don’t know what all that means, but I’m glad it worked

    You guys are great and very informative. I will try to take your advice and run with it. And as you mentioned ,I did continue the setup as depicted by the tutorial, and I hit a snag at the WordPress Setup page where it wants you to enter: database, user name, password, database host.

    I entered wordpress, root, “mypassword”, localhost.

    Of course i get “Error establishing a database connection”. I just feel like am so close to getting the wordpress setup. I am basically finished with the setup if I can just get this step completed.
