I also encountered the same error (while working with Saltstack) and managed to solve it. There are four ways.
For some reason your
/etc/apache2/envvars
is missing:
To solve this, you can create the file manually and add the default envvars content below
sudo vim /etc/apache2/envvars
# envvars - default environment variables for apache2ctl
# this won't be correct after changing uid
unset HOME
# for supporting multiple apache2 instances
if [ "${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}" != "${APACHE_CONFDIR}" ] ; then
SUFFIX="-${APACHE_CONFDIR##/etc/apache2-}"
else
SUFFIX=
fi
# Since there is no sane way to get the parsed apache2 config in scripts, some
# settings are defined via environment variables and then used in apache2ctl,
# /etc/init.d/apache2, /etc/logrotate.d/apache2, etc.
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
# temporary state file location. This might be changed to /run in Wheezy+1
export APACHE_PID_FILE=/var/run/apache2/apache2$SUFFIX.pid
export APACHE_RUN_DIR=/var/run/apache2$SUFFIX
export APACHE_LOCK_DIR=/var/lock/apache2$SUFFIX
# Only /var/log/apache2 is handled by /etc/logrotate.d/apache2.
export APACHE_LOG_DIR=/var/log/apache2$SUFFIX
## The locale used by some modules like mod_dav
export LANG=C
## Uncomment the following line to use the system default locale instead:
#. /etc/default/locale
export LANG
## The command to get the status for 'apache2ctl status'.
## Some packages providing 'www-browser' need '--dump' instead of '-dump'.
#export APACHE_LYNX='www-browser -dump'
## If you need a higher file descriptor limit, uncomment and adjust the
## following line (default is 8192):
#APACHE_ULIMIT_MAX_FILES='ulimit -n 65536'
## If you would like to pass arguments to the web server, add them below
## to the APACHE_ARGUMENTS environment.
#export APACHE_ARGUMENTS=''
## Enable the debug mode for maintainer scripts.
## This will produce a verbose output on package installations of web server modules and web application
## installations which interact with Apache
#export APACHE2_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG=1
Then restart apache service as usual.
sudo service apache2 restart
If your
envvars
file is ok then it may be a case of missing packages. Reinstall the missing packages using below command, then restart the Apache service.
sudo apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install apache2
sudo service apache2 restart
Alternatively you can uninstall Apache and all its config files then reinstall it.
sudo apt-get purge apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
And finally if all the options above don't work, you can try installing package
libapache2-mod-php7.0
or disable the PHP7 module by running
sudo a2dismod php7.0

export APACHE_LOCK_DIR=/var/lock/apache2$SUFFIX
# Only /var/log/apache2 is handled by /etc/logrotate.d/apache2.
export APACHE_LOG_DIR=/var/log/apache2$SUFFIX
## The locale used by some modules like mod_dav
export LANG=C
## Uncomment the following line to use the system default locale instead:
#. /etc/default/locale
export LANG
## The command to get the status for 'apache2ctl status'.
## Some packages providing 'www-browser' need '--dump' instead of '-dump'.
#export APACHE_LYNX='www-browser -dump'
## If you need a higher file descriptor limit, uncomment and adjust the
## following line (default is 8192):
#APACHE_ULIMIT_MAX_FILES='ulimit -n 65536'
## If you would like to pass arguments to the web server, add them below
## to the APACHE_ARGUMENTS environment.
#export APACHE_ARGUMENTS=''
## Enable the debug mode for maintainer scripts.
## This will produce a verbose output on package installations of web server modules and web application
## installations which interact with Apache
#export APACHE2_MAINTSCRIPT_DEBUG=1
Then restart apache service as usual.
sudo service apache2 restart
If your
envvars
file is ok then it may be a case of missing packages. Reinstall the missing packages using below command, then restart the Apache service.
sudo apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install apache2
sudo service apache2 restart
Alternatively you can uninstall Apache and all its config files then reinstall it.
sudo apt-get purge apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
And finally if all the options above don't work, you can try installing package
libapache2-mod-php7.0
or disable the PHP7 module by running
sudo a2dismod php7.0

Your link does not work anymore, and this is the reason why we don't like links. you have a 30000 character limit for your answer, this should be enough to put the contents into your answer itself. This way you ensure your answer to be valid for a long time.
