virtualmin – multiple php versions, using fcgid – problem with php handler [SOLVED]

Want multiple php versions on the same virtualmin host?

Follow instructions here:
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/web/multiplephp
and

Installing PHP 5.6.x and 7.0.x with Ubuntu 14.04 and Virtualmin 5.0gpl using a PPA

Use fcgid as “Default PHP Execution Mode” …

And tada …. php files are being downloaded instead of being executed …

If this happens go to:

vi/nano/mmcedit /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php7.0.conf
and comment the following 2 lines:

# SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
...
# SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source

restart apache2, and it should work
