Installation And Configuration of Mod_suPHP on Plesk (CentOS)

1. 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

2. 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.

   -Admin

3. 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’.

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

5. 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;

   <?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!

6. @ 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?;

   <?php
   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();
   ?>

7. 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?

8. Which apache version you are using… also let us know the error you are getting so that we can help you in a better way.
