Try to setup your own phpinfo.php file with the following content:

Code: Select all

<?php
	echo phpinfo();
?>

So you can show an "uncached" php info about your system. If you are able to run php -v inside commandline with the correct output, it should also work for your websites.

You should remove the old Apache module and install the one for PHP7.

Something like:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0
sudo a2dismod php5
sudo a2enmod php7.0
