Setting up a second php version

I am trying to get a second PHP version running under Virtualmin.

I do the following: - add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php - apt-get install -y php7.1 php7.1-cgi php7.1-bcmath php7.1-json php7.1-imap

And then I go to Virtualmin and choose Server Configuration->PHP versions and change the setting

However, when I then check the old PHP version is still running.

So I tried it in the console: - a2dismod php7.2 - a2enmod php7.1

The first command workd. However, second causes the error: ERROR: Module php7.1 does not exist!

When studied the a2enmod command it appeared that creates virtual links in the conf.d directory. It is there that things may go wrong as under /etc/php/7.1 I don't have an Apache2 directory and as a consequence neither a conf.d directory below that.

So my questions are: what did I do wrong? How should I fix this? Can I just make a copy of the directories below my /etc/php/7.2?

Copying the apache2 directory doesn't work. I still get after a2enmod: ERROR: Module php7.1 does not exist!

I tried another command: update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.1. When you next do the command "service apache2 restart" you get an error: "Job for apache2.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details."

The status command delivers: ● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/apache2.service.d └─apache2-systemd.conf Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2019-02-26 15:09:19 UTC; 33s ago Process: 22613 ExecStop=/usr/sbin/apachectl stop (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 4270 ExecReload=/usr/sbin/apachectl graceful (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 22618 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/apachectl start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 10713 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

What a mess...
