I have Apache2 running on a Debian 11 box (x64). It was installed with an Openmediavault ISO, with nginx and PHP 7.4 installed already (for the web UI) I try to install the PHP connector for apache2 (libapache2-mod-php7.4), and it installs fine, but the web server still returns blank PHP code.
I go to get a simple phpInfo, and it returns
<?php
phpInfo();
The PHP module does not even seem to be loaded into the mods-available folder.

Yes, I am aware it is not best practice to run as root
Extra info: I got the site from another machine (Win10), as the server is headless.
Thank you for your help.
I had to reinstall my OS to make it work. I know this may not work if you have the same problem, but that is how I fixed this.
