    Looks like you need to update your apache config - vhost & the PHP module

    You can learn about apache here:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

    If it's for a production site and you're not familiar with apache/server setup, I'd advise getting someone to do it for you (or read up on LAMP hardening) as you want to ensure it's secure and not open to compromise.

    Yea i don't know, It's a strange one.

    In /etc/apache2/mods-enabled it list the php5 module:

    LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

    Have you any idea?

    The site is just for a personal blog for myself so nothing serious.

    Setting it up i followed this tutorial:https://www.linode.com/docs/websites/lamp/lamp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
    so i don't know where i went wrong.

    I'd have a bit of a rethink how you're approaching this, cobbling together a LAMP server is a bad idea from a security perspective. Your machine could be compromised in seconds.

    Have you considered one of the control panel solutions?

    All will have fairly comprehensive setup instructions and you're better off starting from a clean build as per the specs of whichever you choose:

    cPanel (commercial)
    Plesk (commercial)
    VirtualMin
    WebMin
    VestaCP

    FWIW I have some experience with Vesta but I don't use the built it DNS, I use Cloudflare instead.

    Sorry to bother you again but what would you recommend as a base distro for VirtualMin?

    Sorry, can't help you with virtualmin. I'm using Ubuntu/Vesta on a couple of my VMs, that's where my recent experience of the CPs ends.

    [url]Http://serverpilot.io[/url] is a hosted control panel. That would be an even easier option, they have a free plan too.

    Excellent, delighted to see you got it all up and running in the end.

    Did you design the theme for your site?

    No, used this bootstrap theme here:http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/clean-blog/

    Just tweaked it a small bit was all.

    Anyway thanks for all your help.
