PHP not running in VirtualHost on Apache

I had to migrate from an old server (Plesk 14; CentOS 5; Apache 2.2; PHP 5.3.5) to a new one (Plesk Onyx 17; CentOS 7.3; Apache 2.4; PHP 7)

Everything works fine with the exception of the custom Virtual Hosts.

On the old server, in my etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf I had the following and it was working:

<VirtualHost XX.XX.XX.XX:80>
 DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mycompany.com/httpdocs/myproject
 ServerName  myproject.com
 ServerAlias www.myproject.com

   <Directory /var/www/vhosts/mycompany.com/httpdocs/myproject>
        <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
          php_admin_flag engine on
          php_admin_flag safe_mode on
        </IfModule>

       <IfModule mod_php5.c>
          php_admin_flag safe_mode off
          php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "/tmp"
          php_admin_value session.save_path "/tmp"
       </IfModule>

       php_admin_flag engine on
       AddHandler php5-script .php

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

If I didn't have the php_admin_flag engine on and the AddHandler it would just download the php file as text.

On the new server I tried the exact same and it just downloads the php file.

I also tried adding the following in <Directory> with no success:

LoadModule php5_module  /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
#Error:  Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.

php_admin_flag engine on
# Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

AddType text/html .php 
#I used this to make sure AddType works. It does - PHP displayed as HTML

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
#Downloads the file as text

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php
#Downloads the file as text

AddType php5-script  .php
#Shows php as plain text

Something worth mentioning is that on this Plesk there are multiple PHP versions. When I do php -v I get PHP 5.3.5 (cli) but when I use phpinfo() in a page I get "PHP Version 7.0.18".

My guess is that it has something to do with that.

On the Admin panel in Plesk it says run PHP 7 as FPS Application

plesk-php-fpm

Here's a snapshot of the phpinfo() https://pste.eu/p/BGpI.html

Any idea what could it be?

  • Hi Miro,

    did you consider to SWITCH from MPM-EVENT to MPM-PREFORK, in order to be able to USE the libapache2 - PHP - module ?

    LoadModule php5_module  /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
#Error:  Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.

    => HOME > Tools & Settings > Apache Web Server > ( option ) MPM mode
