I also use apache and had the same problems. For me `apt update && apt install php-sqlite3` and `usermod -aG pihole www-data` helped, then a restart of Apache.

I would really love to see this happen! Would help the community in the long-run.

I'd like to note that running Pi-hole with Apache2, PHP7.2 - this worked first time for me. Thanks!

this solved it for me, too. don't forget to check apache error logs. they may contain the actual cause of the problem and therefore the key to its solution.
