It should start automatically.  I suppose you will have to start
looking in the logs to find out why it is not.  It is also possible
that it is running but your php files are not in the www folder
(wherever you have configured apache to look).  Are the php files in
the same place as they have always been?  Otherwise I would start by
looking the the Ubuntu log file viewer and the apache log.
