I just upgraded Ubuntu, and now apache2 won't start.

sudo systemctl status apache2.service

apachectl[2174]: apache2: Syntax error on line 144 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: 
Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.0.load: 
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.0.so intoserver: 
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp7.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems there is an error when trying to load the php7.0 module, but php7.0 is installed.

php -v

apache2 -v

Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   2018-06-07T21:10:10

What do I need to do?

When I upgraded Ubuntu it said there were many modules which are now obsolete.

It seems this solved it:

sudo a2dismod php7.0

sudo a2enmod php7.2

sudo systemctl restart apache2

I guess it was trying to use the wrong PHP version
