fastcgi problems

[j0sh]

Hello, I am using I'm using plesk panel on centos 5
OS Linux 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen
Panel version 10.2.0

I have a couple issues i really need to figure out, and it would be much appreciated!

One is in the panel i see a red box saying:
Error: New files of configuration for Apache web server were not built due to errors in configuration templates. The detailed error message was e-mailed to you, so please check the e-mail, fix the errors, and click here to retry generating configuration.

I tried clicking retry and i get:
Error: Web server reconfiguration failed: New Apache configuration was not built.

Wondering if there is a fix for that?

Also, i am having an issue with fastcgi, when it is enabled, and php as an apache module is disabled i get either a 500 internal error or a blank page. php as a module works okay but i am having tons of permission issues with clients and would really like to get fastcgi working with suexec, thanks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

[j0sh]

fixed the config error for apache, user had deleted one of the .include files in the /vhosts/domain/conf folder, used "touch file.include" and was able to regenerate configs..

Still have the fastcgi problem, and would LOVE to get that working, please

 

[j0sh]

no one knows how to fix this? fastcgi just doesnt seem to work please lol.. i really need this to work as i think it will fix a big issue i have with plesk.. i am trying to get used to plesk, i am just more efficient with cpanel, any guidance.. i really don't want to switch back to cpanel as i feel alot of my issues with it can be fixed, thanks.. i really appreciate any help anyone can give me!

 

[j0sh]

I am just trying to fix this fastcgi issue, it is really strange and im sure their is a simple fix.. i just cant seem to figure it out.. please, again.. any help would be greatly appreciated..

check your error logs

Hi Josh,

It is a bit hard to know what your problem is without further details. Did you check your error_log for further details about the 500 error?

hey sorry

The suexec.log file shows tons and tons of:

It does this for any user, any site.. etc, i believe at one point it did work tho, before an upgrade of plesk and or system updates.. thanks for the reply and i would be so greatfull for any suggestions!

I havent' had that problem, but have you checked you have the right user/group assigned for the web files and folders.

Are you testing with a basic HTML file or PHP script. Maybe start with a simple HTML file, then test with a simple PHP script (like phpinfo(); ) Keep an eye on your /var/log/httpd/error_log to get further details on the 500 errors.

 

[j0sh]

It seems copying /usr/local/psa/suexec/psa-suexec over /usr/sbin/suexec resolves the issue.. maybe system upgrades overwrote and changed something? well again thanks for your help!

Glad to hear you got it sorted. I have had strange problems after upgrades before (system and Plesk), and have found that a solution that often helps is to re-run the Plesk command-line autoinstaller but not changing the package selections. This will revert the system to psa supplied packages, and re-apply hotfixes.

Another thing I think is worth doing, is to restart the server after major updates or upgrades.
