Why does my php file not work all of the time?

Question

I have installed apache2-server, php5, and mysql-server. In my browser when I type localhost it shows the default apache2 page.

I also made a main.php file in /var/www/html. Then when I type localhost/main.php it executes and shows the main.php file's content in the browser and sometimes it fails. I don't understand what the issue?

I always run sudo service apache2 restart but it doesn't solve the issue.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and firefox 58.0.2.

Output of -

$a2query -m php5
php5 (enabled by maintainer script)

What do you mean by "...sometimes it fails." It should always work or always fail. Put something simple in your main.php, like phpinfo ();. — nobody, Feb 23 '18 at 08:37
@nobody I put a echo statement echo "This is php"; and I saw the output This is php is previous time, but not now. my main.php `

You should add your apache site configuration... otherwise we are not able to track problem — Alvaro Niño, Feb 23 '18 at 09:23
@AlvaroNiño I don't know how to do this, if you provide command it is easy to me. — alhelal, Feb 23 '18 at 09:24
Well, the PHP you posted, has an error. I think you should delete }. Maybe that is why, it does not work. Take a look at error log of you apache server. There should be information about errors in PHP files. — nobody, Feb 23 '18 at 13:20

Use 127.0.0.1/main.php instead of localhost/main.php

This works for me.
