After upgrading to php 7 bin/magento CLI commands not working Magento 2.0.2 CE

Question

I've upgraded the php version of the apache2.4 server from 5.6 to 7.0. OS version Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. After this update, despite the fact that I've installed php7.0-cli, when i try to run

php7.0 bin/magento list command 

I get the fallowing output:

Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

bin/magento must be run as a CLI application

Output when I run sudo apt-get install php7.0-cli:

php7.0-cli is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

When I go to the bin directory and try to run the command :

magento list

I get the output:

magento: command not found

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

what is the output of:

ls -l $(which php)

For me this is showing:

/usr/bin/php -> /etc/alternatives/php

Also check the output of this:

echo $PATH

And look for any path to the wrong php, maybe you only need to fix the $PATH.

If this is not working try this to reinstall the whole package, overwriting the original files:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall php7.0-cli

Answer 2

There is No need to reinstall PHP. You just do this command

php7.0-cli bin/magento 

list command
