HTML rendering of PHP with event MPM

I currently use the pre-fork MPM, which has been fine for my needs. However, I upgraded to the event MPM as an experiment and ran into an issue with PHP rending by html and shtml pages.

My pre-fork configuration of apache2.conf contains the following code:

#activate PHP <FilesMatch .php$> SetHandler application/x-httpd-php </FilesMatch>

and

#enable PHP rendering by html and shtml pages <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews Includes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all Require all granted AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .shtml </Directory>

So when I tried the event MPM, the FilesMatch code was no longer necessary and also caused a conflict. The AddType code caused a conflict as well and had to be removed.

At this point, a page with the .php extension will render PHP code, but one with the .html extension will not.

Is there a way to once again allow an html page to render PHP code?

Thanks
