I'm not sure what info you want from me to get me educated on this problem, so I'll let you ask for it first. This subdomain worked when I was a Webmin only server.
Status:
Active
A virtualmin subdomain of a virtual server has a simple php file in it but it downloads instead of running

Howdy -- do other websites on this particular server work as expected?
And if you look in Server Configuration -> PHP Options, what PHP version is it set to use?
It appears that they all do the same thing; main virtual servers and subdomains. I was going through this before when I was just experimenting a bit over a week ago and I switched the PHP script execution mode to Apache from FCGId. Miraculously the PHP pages would load instead of download. I felt like I was doing a "no-no" hack at the time. I want to do things the Virtualmin way now so as to not make diagnosing problems difficult in the future.
My Server Configuration -> PHP Versions says "Your system only has PHP version 7.0.22 installed, so selecting a different version for each directory is not possible."
My Server Configuration -> Website Options has PHP script execution mode set to FCGId

That all helps -- what is the output of this command:

Okay, that helps -- can you edit these two files:
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php7.0.conf/etc/apache2/conf-available/php7.0-cgi.conf
And in those files, comment out any lines beginning with "SetHandler"?
After doing that, restart Apache.
Once that is complete, are you then able to access the PHP scripts in question?
Here's what they look like now:
/etc/apache2/mods-available/php7.0.conf
<FilesMatch ".+\.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml)$">
# SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch ".+\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
# 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
</FilesMatch>
# Deny access to files without filename (e.g. '.php')
<FilesMatch "^\.ph(p[3457]?|t|tml|ps)$">
Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
# Running PHP scripts in user directories is disabled by default
#
# To re-enable PHP in user directories comment the following lines
# (from <IfModule ...> to </IfModule>.) Do NOT set it to On as it
# prevents .htaccess files from disabling it.
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
php_admin_flag engine Off
</Directory>
</IfModule>
/etc/apache2/conf-available/php7.0-cgi.conf

Yes! It did solve that problem. Can you guess at where I went wrong yet? Did I tweak too many things in my Plans and Templates for virtual servers and such?

I'm unfortunately not quite sure why that issue popped up.
Those lines are normally commented out during the Virtualmin installation.
Was an alternate PHP version perhaps installed after the Virtualmin installation?
Maybe. I tend to just add things when I get complaints from trying to put software I want on the server. I don't document those struggles too well. I may have done that though.
