[solved] ubuntu 20.04 php7.4 does not parse index.php

[rick]

I upgraded my  ubuntu version to 20.04, which install php7.4. I have php parsing other files such as a phpinfo file, but when I try to access the processwire admin, I get the index.php text dump. The front-end appears to display correctly.

Any ideas what I am overlooking?

Thanks in advance!

Stabbing in the dark: perhaps your htaccess is not working quite as expected, or you're missing some module(s) from PHP? Although if your entire front-end works as expected, this seems a little weird. Admin and front-end both go through the same index.php file after all.

Either way it's very likely a PHP / server configuration issue. If that's the case, a quick search on Google for something like "php files show up as text" will give you a ton of stuff to try ?

I didn't actually find a solution to the issue of the admin displaying text while the front-end displayed correct data. I've never seen that before.

So I uninstalled php and reinstalled php and now the backend works.
