Any idea how to fix this problem ?
 
I for the problem with apache resolved. It was due to the server had some other repo installed, that cuased some module compatability. I replaced /etc/yum.repo.d folder on this server from a fresh plesk install and it worked.

Now i am getting following error in Plesk

Code: 
New configuration files for the Apache web server were not created due to the errors in configuration templates: AH00526: Syntax error on line 31 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf: Invalid command 'php_value', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration . Detailed error descriptions were sent to you by email. Please resolve the issues and click here to generate broken configuration files once again or here to generate all configuration files. See the details in Configuration Troubleshooter

I tried enabling php5 module in Tools & Settings > Apache Settings and under Tools & Settings > PHP Settings. Both places says it is php5 module is deprecated. Even after enabling it, the warning won't go away.
 
The "deprecated" warning is not a problem and can be ignored for now. However, if you enabled the module and the module does not become available, are you sure that Plesk is using the Apache installation that you manually deployed? How did you reinstall your Apache? Normally I think it should be installed by Plesk from the Plesk sources. Maybe you can run Plesk installer again and reinstall Apache from that source?
 
I removed all httpd packages using yum.

Then login to plesk and installed apache from

Plesk > Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrades

before doing this, i removed /etc/httpd folder, so i have fresh configs. Once i installed, i had plesk related configs missing, i run "plesk repair web" to get configs recreated.


Code: 
[root@reflexmania ~]# rpm -qa | grep http
libnghttp2-1.31.1-1.el7.x86_64
httpd-tools-2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1.x86_64
httpd-2.4.6-80.el7.centos.1.x86_64
[root@reflexmania ~]# httpd -M | grep php
 php5_module (shared)
[root@reflexmania ~]#

When i login to Plesk., get
