This is my first post here although I often do search and find answers here. This time I've spent a couple of days searching various sites but unfortunately none of the answers in other threads helped in my case.
I manage a few LAMP servers each hosting about 10 to 15 virtual hosts. Each server has a control panel for the admin and client's to manage sites. This has been running well for the past few years on Centos 6 with mod_php.
I'm now upgrading the control panel to run on Centos 7 with PHP installed as mod_fcgid.
Each virtual host has its own apache conf file as below:
<VirtualHost 136.243.195.117:80>
DocumentRoot "/home/c7demose/public_html"
ServerName c7.demoserver.co.za
ServerAlias www.c7.demoserver.co.za mail.c7.demoserver.co.za ftp.c7.demoserver.co.za
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
SuexecUserGroup c7demose c7demose
<Directory /home/c7demose/public_html>
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/c7.demoserver.co.za/php-fcgi-starter .php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
There's no issue with that and each site works as expected. The way this worked in the past is that the control panel listens on a different port, and its vhost config file listens on any IP address and does not have the ServerName variable, so it doesn't matter which domain name the user uses, it will redirect to the control panel if they use the correct port.
In other words user with domain user_one.com can go to user_one.com:10025 and user two can go to his own user_two.com:10025 and both get to the control panel:
<VirtualHost *:10025>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/webcp"
<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
SuexecUserGroup apache apache
<Directory /var/www/html/webcp>
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
AddHandler fcgid-script .php
FCGIWrapper /var/www/php-fcgi-scripts/localhost/php-fcgi-starter .php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>
This worked well in the old setup using mod_php. With mod_fcgid It does not work when trying to access the control panel with this "catch all" type of situation.
The browser displays a 500, internal error and the httpd error logs show the following:

Ideally I'd like to get this all working with fast_cgi but if there is a way in which I can get the virtual hosts to continue running with fcgi and just the control panel on port 10025 to run using mod_php then that would be an acceptable interim solution, I just don't know how or even if that's possible.
Thanks in advance!
John
