title: Apache can't load mod-php5.so
body: <p>I've suddenly started having a problem with Apache2 and PHP after a recent update. Apache won't start, giving me the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>apache2: Syntax error on line 227 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Cannot load mods-enabled/mod-php5.so into server: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mod-php5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've followed advice on a couple sites, leading me to do the following things:</p>
  
  <p>In apache2.conf:
  Changed /etc/apache2/modules to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
  Changing mod-php5.so to mod-php55.sp</p>
  
  <p>Reinstall libapache2-mod-php5
  ldconfig
  whereis mod-php5.so (no results, also tried mod-php55.so and mod-php.so)</p>
  
  <p>WHere is mod-php*.so located, and why is Apache suddenly not finding it?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Sorry, forgot to say I'm running Linux Mint 17 x64.</p>
