When I did an in-place upgrade of 16.04 to 18.04 mythweb failed to work 
due to php 7.2

The solution I used was:
sudo mv /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-mythweb.ini 
/etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/20-mythweb.ini
sudo a2enmod php7.2 #to sort out apache2
sudo systemctl restart apache2


The "sudo mv /etc/php/7.0/apache2/conf.d/20-mythweb.ini 
/etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d/20-mythweb.ini" was necessary to fix the 
"Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit 
change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0" when saving 
channels. The value in 20-mythweb.ini of 10000 caters for 620 channels, 
1000 only handles 62 channels.
