Your hostname must be resolvable using at least 1 mechanism in /etc/nsswitch.conf typically DNS or /etc/hosts or apache might have issues starting depending on the modules you are using. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - apache24 default build changed from static MPM to modular MPM - more modules are now enabled per default in the port - icons and error pages moved from WWWDIR to DATADIR If build with modular MPM and no MPM is activated in httpd.conf, then mpm_prefork will be activated as default MPM in etc/apache24/modules.d to keep compatibility with existing php/perl/python modules! Please compare the existing httpd.conf with httpd.conf.sample and merge missing modules/instructions into httpd.conf! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the Apache is installed, enable the apache service on rc.conf file.
root@linuxhelp:~ # sysrc apache24_enable=" YES"
apache24_enable: -> YES
Utilize the following command to start the Apache service.
root@linuxhelp:~ # service apache24 start

Now its time to install the PHP and its dependency packages.
root@linuxhelp:~ # pkg install php56 mod_php56 php56-curl php56-session php56-pgsql Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up-to-date. All repositories are up-to-date.

Next run the ' nano' command to configure the httpd.conf file.
Enter the following lines from the above displayed output and add the index.php into it.
root@linuxhelp:~ # nano -c /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf

Done!
Here you need to copy the php.ini-production file into the php.ini file.
root@linuxhelp:~ # cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini
Now restart the apache service as shown below,
