Moodle Installation Page (PHP Version)

Hello,

I'm having an issue getting to the installation page of Moodle. I'm running it on CentOS 7. When I go to http://my-ip-address/learning (I changed the moodle directory in var/www/html to learning). I get this message:

Moodle 3.4 or later requires at least PHP 7.0.0 (currently using version 5.4.16). Some servers may have multiple PHP versions installed, are you using the correct executable?

But I confirmed I have PHP 7.0 installed. When I run php -v I get the following:

PHP 7.0.30 (cli) (built: Apr 28 2018 08:14:08) ( NTS )

You have confirmed that you have version 7 of *command line* PHP. 

This is nothing to do with web server version of PHP. They are entirely separate installations. That will, almost certainly, be 5.4

Never mind I figured it out. I just had to restart Apache using the command:

systemctl restart httpd
