Hello,
I have noticed a thing: when I install virtualmin on a ubuntu 16.04lts system, it is setup out of the box to use php in fastcgi mode, which is fine.
Why then does it still enable mod-php in apache?

Can you run "apache2ctl -M" or "httpd -M" (depends on OS) and post the results.

Hello,
Note how fcgid is running. In theory, if I am only using mod_fcgid with php-cgi mode, then mod_php is completely moot. AND (all my sites are php) with no need for mod_php, I certainly don't need to be running mpm-prefork...

Howdy,
It sounds like you're saying you don't need mod_php?
If not, you can always remove it from the list of available Apache modules, which will prevent Virtualmin from offering it as an option.
To do that, you can run this command:
a2dismod php7.0
And then restart Apache.
You are right, and it worked. Thanks!
hello, Can you confirm for me that a2dismod php7.0, php7.1 or php5.6 would disable mod_php mode.. of execution.. Apache restart tends to fails with the error.
AH00526: Syntax error on line 39 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/s1.interstellarconsulting.com.conf: Invalid command 'php_admin_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration Action 'configtest' failed. The Apache error log may have more information.
so this line needs to be commented ..
php_admin_value engine Offjust want to confirm, before i replace this from all the config files to enitrely disable this on the server.. ?

Yes, that is correct. Mod-php will be unloaded.
