Apache not working after macOS Mojave update

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:

  1. Run the command below sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

  2. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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/[email protected]/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
