I’m at the create .conf file but when I add this file it doesn’t work. It seems the LoadModule command isn’t working. I’m using Plesk 9.0.1

Any suggestions?

I started with the http://www.grafxsoftware.com configuration but then thought it is not nice to configure every domain every time with new settings and when you want to change a php.ini setting go and change all of them bla bla. this solution seemed nice but with the exact same configuration my php script returned a weird 500 internal server error?! i’ve never seen this since the cgi days. guess this has to do something with the php running as cgi.

@ Valics Lehei; with http://www.grafxsoftware.com/faq.php/HOW-TO-Setup-a-PLESK-Dedicated-Server/1/4/ not work exec in whoami.php, but test.txt is created and owned user is correct. Why not work exec?;

echo "Output of the 'whoami' command:\n”;
echo exec(‘/usr/bin/whoami’);

echo ”;

system(‘id’);

$f = fopen (“test.txt”, “a”);
fputs($f, “it’s working !”);
fclose($f);

phpinfo();
?>

Hi,

I have Centos 5 + Plesk 9.0.1 + mod_suphp 0.7.1-1, my /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_suphp.conf ;

LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so

php_admin_value engine off
suPHP_Engine On
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php

my /etc/suphp.conf ;

[global]
;Path to logfile
logfile=/var/log/suphp.log

;Loglevel
loglevel=info

;User Apache is running as
webserver_user=apache

;Path all scripts have to be in
docroot=/var/www/vhosts

;Path to chroot() to before executing script
;chroot=/mychroot

; 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=false

;Send minor error messages to browser
errors_to_browser=true

;PATH environment variable
env_path=/bin:/usr/bin

;Umask to set, specify in octal notation
umask=0022

; Minimum UID
min_uid=30

; Minimum GID
min_gid=30

; Use correct permissions for mod_userdir sites
;handle_userdir=true

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

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

I restart Apache (service httpd restart) and phpinfo() prints;
….
Loaded Modules: … mod_suphp ….
….

But if execute mydomain.com/whoami.php;

echo "Output of the 'whoami' command:\n”;
echo exec(‘/usr/bin/whoami’);
?>

print apache user;

Output of the ‘whoami’ command:
apache

@TooLate; I tried create /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/conf/vhost.conf;

php_admin_flag engine Off
suPHP_Engine On
suPHP_UserGroup myvhostuser psacln
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php5 .php
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php

But whoami.php print the same.

Do you know where is the problem? Thanks!

thanks for the info but we have tested the above post on Plesk 8.6 and it worked without any issues.

For me the config doesn’t work server wide.

My experience is that with Plesk 8.6 and 9.3 you have to also create a vhosts.conf file for each domain. This file goes in the domains conf directory and looks similar to this:

php_admin_flag engine Off
suPHP_Engine On
suPHP_UserGroup clientname psacln
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php5 .php
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php

Note the suPHP_UserGroup is now required because the mod_suphp from ART is compiled with either ‘force’ or ‘paranoid’.

hi thanks for the info but the latest version of apache already has following due to which it doesn’t need to be added separately.
==
Include “/etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf”
==

Still thanks for the info it will definitely help other users.

Hi, thanks for the instructions however I think you forgot a key step… After creating the suphp.conf file in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ I had to add an include line to httpd.conf for it to be read:

Include “/etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf”

Cheers
