Can't execute PHP files

Virtualmin
1

Hi There,

This is the second time that I made a fresh/clean installation of Virtualmin on Ubuntu 16.04 and I had the same problem when I accessed the sub servers that I created.

Rather than run the PHP file the browser download it as a file.

To solve this problem I have to modify the file nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/{subserver}.{user}.conf, delete or comment the line “php_admin_value engine Off” and restart Apache (sudo systemctl restart apache2.service).

Is there any solution to create a new sub server without modify any file?

Regards,
Lisandro.

Howdy,

The newest install.sh script should resolve that issue on new installations. However, if you’re seeing that on existing installs, you may want to ensure that in /etc/apache2/mods-available/php7.0.conf, comment out any line starting with SetHandler, then restart Apache.

Does that resolve your issue?

Thanks so much for your reply. I commented out these lines on the existing install, the news sub servers I created after that were working fine, but the sub servers created before that were not working. So I had to restore it:

<FilesMatch “.+.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml)$”>
### SetHandler application/x-httpd-php >>> commented out

<FilesMatch “.+.phps$”>
### SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source >>> commented out
# Deny access to raw php sources by default
# To re-enable it’s recommended to enable access to the files
# only in specific virtual host or directory
Require all denied

Deny access to files without filename (e.g. ‘.php’)

<FilesMatch “^.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml|ps)$”>
Require all denied

Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default

To re-enable PHP in user directories comment the following lines

(from <IfModule …> to .) Do NOT set it to On as it

prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.

php_admin_flag engine Off

Is this ok?

I tried to comment out the line ‘php_admin_flag engine Off’ but it didn’t work…

What you shared above in your config file looks good.

What’s happening in your existing sub-servers at the moment, same problem as earlier? And do you see any errors in the Apache error logs for them?

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. In existing sub-servers the same problem ocurred, the browser try to download the file. I delete the subserver, but I think that the log was:
