    How do you set this? Is there a reason to use mod-php?
    From what I remember mod-php has been deprecated for years already.

    Yes, never use mod_php on a recent system. Always use php-fpm as mode and take care to enabled suexec option.

    I set with ISPconfig, the problem is when I try to install Prestashop, I have to change file permission to several directories.
    I go to install now Prestashop with php-fpm.
    Thanks to you and Till

    You don't have to change any permissions when installing a shop or CMS system in an ISPConfig website, it actually fails if you would change permissions. You probably found some wrong install instructions somewhere that told you to chown folders to www-data or similar, if you do that, the shop must fail as the folders are owned by the wrong user which is not the website user. So the steps to correctly install a CMS or shop are:

    1) Choose PHP mode php-fpm, never use mod_php on a recent system. Take care to keep suexec enabled.
    2) Upload the shop files by FTP to the web folder using an FTP user of that site or create an SSH user for this website, login with that SSH user and then download the show using this SSH user. All file and folder ownerships are correct by default then.

    In year 2021, no one uses mod-php any more. I simply uninstall it from my OS.
