During the installation of Debian Edu 13.7.0
(‘debian-edu-13.7.0-amd64-BD-1.iso’) in graphical and text modes, an error
occurred in the logs:

```
cf-agent[11335]: CFEngine(agent) Finished command related to promiser
'/usr/sbin/service apache restart' -- an error occurred, returned 1
cf-agent[11335]: CFEngine(agent) Q: "...in/service apac": Restarting Apache
httpd web server: apache2 failed! Q: "...in/service apac": The apache2
configtest failed. ... (warning). Q: "...in/service apac": Output of config

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/debian-edu-userdir.conf: Q: "...in/service apac":
Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module
not included in e server configuration
```
It seems that the Apache module `libapache2-mod-php` is missing and must be
installed before restarting Apache.

Line 9 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/debian-edu-userdir.conf:
php_admin_flag engine off

There is only one Apache module installed: `libapache2-mod-auth-gssapi`
Check it on TTY4 during the installation process with the command:
`grep "libapache2-mod-" /target/var/log/installer/* | grep -i setting`
/target/var/log/installer/syslog:Sep 13 19:44:46 in-target: Setting up
libapache2-mod-auth-gssapi (1.6.4-3+b1) ...^M

After installing the library `apt install libapache2-mod-php` on a server
with only the role "Main", Apache2 started without errors.
