How to suphp 0.6.1

[BDMM]

Here we go

DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL

wget http://www.suphp.org/download/suphp-0.6.1.tar.gz
tar -zxvf suphp-0.6.1.tar.gz
cd suphp-0.6.1
./configure --with-prefix=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-min-uid=500 --with-min-gid=500 --with-apache-user=apache --with-php=/usr/bin/php --with-setid-mode=owner --prefix= --exec-prefix=/usr
make
make install

I did have a few problems with the makefile not adding the conf files so added manually

pico /etc/suphp.conf

[global]
logfile=/var/log/httpd/suphp_log
loglevel=info
webserver_user=apache
docroot=/
env_path=/bin:/usr/bin
umask=0077
min_uid=500
min_gid=500

; Security options
allow_file_group_writeable=false
allow_file_others_writeable=false
allow_directory_group_writeable=false
allow_directory_others_writeable=false

;Check wheter script is within DOCUMENT_ROOT
check_vhost_docroot=true

;Send minor error messages to browser
errors_to_browser=false

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php

;Handler for CGI-scripts
x-suphp-cgi=execute:!self


I modified this so that I could enable it on virtual sites only through the vhost.conf files.

pico /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf

# This is the Apache server configuration file providing suPHP support.
# It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to
# serve php pages while switching to the user context before rendering.

LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so

# This option tells mod_suphp if a PHP-script requested on this server (or
# VirtualHost) should be run with the PHP-interpreter or returned to the
# browser "as it is".
suPHP_Engine off


Then to enable on a per domain/directory basis. If you have problems with sitebuilder or horde I would suggest you check out other threads to disallow directories. I only enable it on admin directories because this is basically where files get uploaded or modified.

pico /home/httpd/vhosts/<domain>/conf/vhost.conf

ADD

<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs/<directory>
php_admin_flag engine on
suPHP_Engine On
suPHP_ConfigPath "/etc/phpvirtual/<domain>"
#suPHP_UserGroup owner group ## ONLY FOR paranoid MODE
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
</Directory>


And finally create a directory to store php.ini files. I suppose it could be in the conf directory however I chose to create a seperate directory under /etc/phpvirtual/<domain.com>

cp /etc/php.ini /etc/phpvirtual/<domain.com>/php.ini

Modify the new php.ini as needed.

Thats it.

Alternatively you could install the [dag] mod_suphp via yum. This is compiled in paranoid mode and you will need to modify the suphp.conf files accordingly. I did have some problems with Handlers.

It seems i dont have apxs installed ?

I'm running Plesk 7.5.4 on RH 9.0

Anyone else ?

 

[eilko]

make sure you have the httpd-devel rpm package installed

 

[xtreme2490]

I've installed the httpd-devel rpm now , and now i get following :

configure: error: APR is needed to build mod_suphp for Apache 2.x but was not found

How to proceed ?


Thanks in advance for your help

 

[eilko]

install apr rpm

 

[xtreme2490]

> rpm -q apr
apr-0.9.7-1

Is installed now.
Same deal
Still saying apr is needed ?

I have installed suPHP on my suse 9.3 box. But after make install there was no conf file in /etc. Is that normal ?

The second problem that i have is that php is useing cli. Do i need to re compile php for the cgi mode ?

It seems that way. Follow the instructions above from the pico /etc/suphp.conf which creates the suphp.conf file.

You may also need to add the /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf file

Not sure on this one.

I have made both conf files. But suPHP dont do anything.... I think i first most find out if i have to recompile PHP for the cgi mode.

I see this in the phpsu faq:

You probably have installed the CLI version of PHP, but you need the CGI version. Copy the file /build/path/sapi/cgi/php to /where/ever/you/have/installed/bin/php to use the CGI version.

But i dont understand what i most copy...

Hi!
When i activate suPHP, then my PHP files get an 500 Internal Server Error. What could be wrong ?

 

[BDMM]

in the suphp.conf file you may have to set it to use php-cgi depends on which version of php you are using

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php-cgi

 

[wkonline]

this line i have allready in my suPHP.conf.
when its activated i get an 500 error
when its not activated i get also a 500 error...

 

[BDMM]

what does
locate php-cgi
give you

 

[wkonline]

ups! php is not installed as cgi, when php-cgi is not there?
can you give me a hint, how to compile php as cgi?

 

[BDMM]

I upgraded to atomicrockets php 5.0.4.

However try changing the suphp.conf file to

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php

ie non cgi version.

Did you follow the instructions from thread to setup suphp? where are you suphp.conf files

/etc/suphp.conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf

 

[wkonline]

yes, i have followed the instructions.
i have one suPHP.conf in /etc and one in /etc/apache2/conf.d

in the suPHP.conf i have tried:

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php

and

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php4

/etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf
==========================
LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so
suPHP_Engine off

suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
</Directory>
============================

And I also have php.ini file in
/etc/phpvirtual/domain.com/php.ini

Also what version of php are you using and is it in /usr/bin folder

Hi,

thanks!

My suPHP.conf:

[global]
logfile=/var/log/apache2/suphp_log
loglevel=info
webserver_user=www-data
docroot=/
env_path=/bin:/usr/bin
umask=0077
min_uid=500
min_gid=500

; Security options
allow_file_group_writeable=false
allow_file_others_writeable=false
allow_directory_group_writeable=false
allow_directory_others_writeable=false

;Check wheter script is within DOCUMENT_ROOT
check_vhost_docroot=true

;Send minor error messages to browser
errors_to_browser=false

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php

;Handler for CGI-scripts
x-suphp-cgi=execute:!self

My vhost.conf:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs>
php_admin_flag engine on
suPHP_Engine On
suPHP_ConfigPath "/etc/phpvirtual/mydomain.com"
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
</Directory>

my /etc/apache2/conf.d/suphp.conf

LoadModule suphp_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suphp.so

# This option tells mod_suphp if a PHP-script requested on this server (or
# VirtualHost) should be run with the PHP-interpreter or returned to the
# browser "as it is".
suPHP_Engine off

An i also have a /etc/phpvirtual/domain.com/php.ini

By the Way:
i have also a little other problem with php.
Things like Horde a perfect in functionality. But i have several problem with scripts. when i want to open them, i'll get a download prompt. i have a info.php and a test123.php. both have this code:

<? phpinfo() ?>

the test123.php shows me the php infopage. the info.php wanted to be downloaded....

when i want to use php without suPHP, i have to insert the following code to the vhost.conf:

# php_admin_flag engine on
# php_admin_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
# php_admin_flag safe_mode off
# php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/share/doc"

i have upgraded my php to 4.4.4. so i think there a several problems,...

 

[BDMM]

try changing

LoadModule suphp_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_suphp.so

to

LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so

If I recall I had some issues with this until I changed the path.

This may just be a cache problem. If php works for one page it should work for the other.
