  • Edit the Apache file httpd.conf and comment out the path to the old PHP 7.3 module if present in the file. To comment, you need to add a # at the beginning of the line.

Exemple:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

After performing this action, save the file and restart the apache service..

sudo apachectl restart
