Apache is downloading php files instead of displaying them
The correct AddType for php is application/x-httpd-php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Also make sure your php module is loaded
LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php55.so
When you're configuring apache then try to view the page from another browser - I've had days when chrome stubbornly caches the result and it keeps downloading the source code while in another browser it's just fine.
Apache is downloading php files instead of execute them
You should not set the Content-Type to application/x-httpd-php
.
Instead, remove that header.
And use this:
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
If you use PHP-FPM. then let me know, because the above won't work for PHP-FPM.
Edit:
Remove:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Or change it to:
AddType text/html .php
The problem is:
application/x-httpd-php
is not a MIME type, but rather a handler. That means your directive must beAddHandler
instead ofAddType

Apache2 server not displaying php file, only downloading it
I've got a few Ubuntu 16.04 servers. They mostly work with little effort. I'm going to post my install commands, just so you can compare with what you did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils
sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client
sudo apt-get install php7.0-fpm php7.0-mysql php7.0-common php7.0-gd php7.0-json php7.0-cli php7.0-curl libapache2-mod-php7.0
sudo systemctl restart apache2
# modify dir.conf so index.php is the preferred file
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf
