php includes not working in virtual sites

I have followed Till Brehm's excellent tutorial Perfect Server - Ubuntu 18.04 and everything seems to be working ok except for php includes on test sites I have set bup using ISPconfig 3.
phpinfo() works on the default server at /var/www/html
but not on virtual sites at /var/www/clients/client1/web1 where it just shows a blank screen
I have set up the site for suPHP and the test index.php runs but without the header and footer includes.
I've copied the page to /var/www/html and it displays as it should.
Version PHP 7.2.17-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Apr 18 2019 14:12:38) ( NTS )
In the build I have not bothered with
Metronome, PHP Opcode, PHP-FPM, HHVM, Mailman or Bind
Any advice would be very much appreciated

 

probably it works but the php error display is disabled.
Try creating a test.php script "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" inside /var/www/clients/client1/web1

then locate in the displaying info where is the .ini config file. of your php
Edit that file to show all errors and other parameters you can need. Then restart both the php-fpm and apache

# service php7.0-fpm restart (use the php-fpm number version you are using)
# systemctl restart apache2

hope it helps

 

That's the problem - that test script will not work in /var/www/clients/client1/web1 just returns a blank screen as if php not enabled but that script does work in /var/www/html.
I think it must have something to do with the Apache config

 

maybe are not using the same php.ini.
For this reason I wrote you about checking the php.ini working inside the /var/www/clients/client1/web1.
To confirm if this is the same.

 

Perhaps I'm not being clear. When I run the test.php script "<?php phpinfo(); ?> in /var/www/clients/client1/web1 not information is displayed at all.
When I run the same test script in /var/www/html it returns the full list.
I've checked with a simple testpage2.php and discovered that the virtual host is running it as html and it appears that ISPconfig 3 has not enabled the suPHP for the site.
I'll see if I can edit the apache config manually.
Thanks for your help

 

Thanks Till that's where I have been running it and there is no php at that location.
When I set the domain with ispconfig3 I selected SuPHP from the drop down list but as far as I can see this has not been enabled.
Not sure how to go about getting SuPHP enabled

A further thought
there is a php.ini at /var/www/conf/web1
And the last entry is
open_basedir = '/var/www/clients/client1/web1/web:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/private:/var/www/clients/client1/web1/tmp:/var/www/###.co.uk/web:/srv/www/###.co.uk/web:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php:/tmp:/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin:/dev/random:/dev/urandom'root@802989:/var/www/conf/web1#

I notice a ref to php5 but not to php7 - could this be significant?

 

A further further thought the ini running on the server indicates Virtual Directory Support disabled. Should this be changed to enabled?
Extract below:
System Linux #####.com 4.15.0-50-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 6 18:46:08 UTC 2019 x86_64
Build Date Apr 18 2019 14:12:38

Scan this dir for additional .ini files /etc/php/7.2/apache2/conf.d

 

Such a simple solution but php is now working.
Thank you so much Till & MaxT for your kind advice.
