Try this and look for the module -

a2query -m

You need the php Apache module for it to work.

Is it the wrong version of php ...?

I’m sure it’s the same one I’m using. Are sure you use the full module name.

I don't use anything myself, just the zm software out of the box

Try running the a2enmod command with the full module name.

sudo a2enmod php7.4
ERROR: /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.4.load is a dangling symlink!
ERROR: Module php7.4 does not exist!

If I knew anything about apache, this might be a clue?

I'd suggest working through the Wiki install process linked to.

For a quick thing, try - installing libapache2-mod-php

synaptic package manager shows libapache2-mod-php8.1 installed with apache2 server 2.4.52-1ubuntu4.4

if that makes things any clearer.
I removed the dangling symbolic link, to no benefit.

Not really. Sounds like the system is in a mess.

Have you tried enabling the php module version it claims is installed? Do that if not.

sudo a2enmod php8.1
ran and after "systemctl restart apache2", "a2query -m" showed "php8.1 (enabled by site administrator)".
However running zm (http://stuart-pc-x010178/zm) in the browser still prints a script, rather than executing it.

Finally: using a different browser (chromium instead of firefox) WORKED!
Perhaps firefox needs settings changed - I'll explore.

Might just be cache in Firefox.
