FastCGI and FPM not working. only Working option is CGI wrapper.

Hi,

My OS details:
=============
OS : Ubuntu 16.04
php version :  7.0
Virtualmin : v6.01

I am new to Virtualmin but old for linux. i have been running my single hosted site on virtualmin for about few months. problem starts when i updated plugin to my wordpress website. now two out of 3 php options are not working. 1, FastCGI and FPM only working option is CGI wrapper. Please note that my php version is 7.

regarding my troubleshooting. when i try to start php7-fpm service i get and error like this.

here is my tiny apache config

<VirtualHost 172.31.1.100:80>
    ServerName anitbridge.com
    Redirect permanent / https://www.xxxxx.com/
ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://localhost:8000172.31.1.100:80/$1
RemoveHandler .php
RemoveHandler .php7.0
SuexecUserGroup "#1000" "#1000"
</VirtualHost>

when i try to change the option to FastCGI i see this issue in virtualmin pannel

"Failed to save website options : No <Directory> section found for mod_fcgid directives"

Kindly guide me to correct this issue. i searched google for whole day but no luck.

Thanks, MYK

Any help will be highly appreciated. if you guys can atleast tell me why this line is created as this line make no sense as we can see the format is wrong. and this line is generated by virtual min. where i am doing wrong. can anyone please help.

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://localhost:8000172.31.1.100:80/$1

Where did the 172.31.1.100:80 come from? The line Virtualmin generates on my systems looks like this:

ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*.php(/.*)?)$ fcgi://localhost:8000/$1

I can't figure out why the external IP would get inserted into that.

This is really confusing for me too. i can not understand this line too. when ever i shift the site option to FPM it creates a line like this. but now as a workaround i delete the Virtualserver and created new virtualserver with same name. now it is writing this line

ProxyPassMatch ^/(..php(/.)?)$ fcgi://localhost:8000/home/admin/public_html/$1

which seems fine now. but throwing 500 error which i have to fix later on. now converting to FastCGI which is working for me

Thanks, MYK
