Hello,i’ve got same issue and i figured it out.
My case was i’ve got telnet from the web to the DB with port 3306,and when i open the web app,my output was last 4 lines of the script,which still tells i’ve got successful connection.
My “mistake” if i can say it was: I renamed index.php to index.html which i think was right,but somehow it’s not.Also have to give ownership to the www-data user.Here are the commands:

  1. Give permission to index.php for apache
    sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/index.php sudo chmod 644 /var/www/html/index.php
  2. Remove default apache welcome page.
    sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html
  3. Restart apache
    sudo systemctl restart apache2

When you open the web adress,what output you got ?
