In reply to Miguel Granados. Hi, Miguel It's been a while since I've used virtualmin, but as far as I can remember you won't have any problem using different versions of PHP in different vhosts

Thanks so much for this. You totally saved my day. I’m in the same situation. I run a ton of lower traffic wordpress and drupal sites and just set up a couple new VPS servers using Virtualmin/Webmin.

Mod_php is less than ideal for me because of permissions issues with WordPress maintenance and stuff, and FastCGI is way too RAM intensive for my needs.

Everything worked perfect except for 2 snags I ran into which might be helpful to anyone else reading this:

1. I could only get it to work if I put the Addhandler part down lower in the virtual host section like this:

Options -Indexes +IncludesNOEXEC +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
allow from all
AllowOverride All

suPHP_Engine on
suPHP_UserGroup user user
AddHandler x-httpd-suphp .php .php3 .php4 .php5
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-suphp

That’s where the previous FCGI info was. If I put it up right underneath the document root line, it wouldn’t work at all.

Once I did that it worked like a charm.

2. Phpmyadmin quit working after this. I didn’t dig in too deep to figure out why, because I kind of like the Virtualmin MYSQL manager now anyway. Phpmyadmin was just more familiar to me…but not a big deal at all.

Cheers and thanks again for posting this!

In reply to dvb. The second one Of course you can setup your high traffic sites to use FCGId

Why not FastCGI?

Does it less secure? or are you running many low-traffic sites?
