Managed to change php version to 7.0

Now I get a 503 error and this in the apache log

 

failed to make connection to backend: localhost,

and this

Connection refused: AH00957: FCGI: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8000 (*) failed

What port is your mysql server using? It's normally 3306 or 3307

3306

I originally thought it was a DB issue, but the error is about port 8000, so I'd check your PHP settings.

Open the port 8000 in your firewall.
