I’ve just installed Ubunt7.10 and then php4 (PHP5 came with the installation). After this I did an do-release-upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04LTS.
All worked fine. Then I downloaded the Install script from my Serial page (100 slots), and did the install of Vitualmin 3.57.
All went well.
Problem. Even though I have set the php option to cgi I can’t chose the PHP4 version. In the templates under Apache opstion I can only choose between Lowest or PHP5. It seems that PHP4 are not an option.
What to do? I have a lot of sites which runs under PHP4, sÃ¥ it Is a need-to-have option. I’ve read several threads adressing this issue, but none which worked for mee. I’ve have both PHP4 and PHP5 directories under etc.

Howdy,
Just for fun, what all do you see if you run:
rpm -qa | grep php
Also, as you log into Virtualmin – on the navigation bar on the left, you’ll see the “Server Configuration” option for any given Virtual Server.
If you click "Server Configuration", followed by "PHP Version", it in theory would allow you to specify which one(s) you want to run for a given Virtual Server.
Do you see just 5 listed there, or does it offer both 4 and 5?

I know you said above that you’re running Virtualmin Pro version 3.37, I’d like to verify two things – which can each be done on the screen you see immediately after logging into Virtualmin.
When you log in, at the top near the center of the screen, you’ll see “System hostname”, “Operating System”, “Webmin Version” – immediately down from that is “Virtualmin version”.
My questions are:
It says 3.37 there, right? I just wanted to make sure it that wasn’t a typo for the latest version, 3.57 (oh, actually, 3.58 just came out yesterday I think).
Does it mention “Pro” there, and not “GPL”? I’d guess you might see the results you are if Virtualmin throught it was running the GPL version.
However, if you’re running 3.37, rather than 3.57, it might help to try upgrading. That version came out last year in March, so it’s aging – and things might be in different places than they are today

Can you verify what version Virtualmin thinks you have installed?
When you log into Virtualmin, in the center of the screen, should be the text "Virtualmin version". How exactly does it read? Mine says:
Virtualmin version 3.60 (Pro)
It sounds like your bought the Pro, but I want to make sure your install realizes that! The problem you’re describing is something I might expect out of the GPL version.

Well, it looks like your dpkg-query is showing php-cgi and php-cli as being not installed.
You mentioned above that you set the PHP version to use CGI. So even though you have the PHP4 package installed, you’ll also need to install these two guys for that to work correctly:
apt-get install php4-cgi php4-cli
After that, if you look in Virtualmin, I suspect you’ll PHP4 there as an option.

I had to manually install php5 (going the opposite direction ) and I had a similar problem with "PHP Version" not showing up. Mine turned out to be because the php4 and php5 directories and ini files were missing from ~/etc/ for the server. So you may want to check those.
While you’re at it, you should look in your httpd.conf and make sure the lines like the ones below match up with the contents of ~/fcgi-bin/:
