phpmyadmin shows php code, but actual application code works fine - php

Question

I am hosting my application on AWS server. I configured Virtualmin on it and created a new virtual server - mydomain.td.lr, and it created a user - mydomain.
I configured a virtual host for it too from the virtualmin interface.
<VirtualHost *:80>
SuexecUserGroup "#500" "#500"
ServerName mydomain.td.lr
ServerAlias www.mydomain.td.lr
ServerAlias webmail.mydomain.td.lr
DocumentRoot /var/www/public_html/mydomain
ErrorLog /var/log/virtualmin/mydomain.td.lr_error_log
CustomLog /var/log/virtualmin/mydomain.td.lr_access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/

RedirectMatch /mailman/([^/\.]*)(.cgi)?(.*) https://mydomain.td.lr:10000/virtualmin-mailman/unauthenticated/$1.cgi$3
</VirtualHost>
This got appended to the httpd.conf.
When I open my application at mydomain.td.lr, the application shows up; but when I open phpmhyadmin, I see a php code there.
Also, when I see source code of phpmyadmin page, all the php code is commented out and code inside html which is php is being shown
I reinstalled phpmyadmin on the server, but still no success.
What went wrong with the configuration???

Answer 1

Removing these two lines does the job for me.
RemoveHandler .php
RemoveHandler .php5

Answer 2

Have you made modification in apache.conf which exists in /etc/phpmyadmin folder?
I think you have to also make entry in phpmyadmin apache.conf and make sure that short tag is not commented in php.ini file.
Hope this will help.

Answer 3

In my case it was
php_admin_value engine Off
in httpd.config Virtual host section.
Once disabled,
# php_admin_value engine Off
everything (virtual sites, phpMyAdmin) worked just fine.
Consider security issue, but mod_php could be enabled either in custom or default template > Apache_website under Virtualmin Server Template
