Install suphp

[bubbadog]

Can anyone tell me the correct procedure for installing suphp onto Bubba Two please?

[bubbadog]

Ok, so far I have:

installed gcc
installed make
a2dismod php5
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
apt-get install apache2-prefork-dev
wget http://www.suphp.org/download/suphp-0.6.2.tar.gz
tar xvfz suphp-0.6.2.tar.gz
cd suphp-0.6.2
vi src/apache2/mod_suphp.c

edited lines 324 and 325 in mod_suphp.c to read:

AP_INIT_ITERATE("suPHP_AddHandler", suphp_handle_cmd_add_handler, NULL, RSRC_CONF | ACCESS_CONF, "Tells mod_suphp to handle these MIME-types"),

AP_INIT_ITERATE("suPHP_RemoveHandler", suphp_handle_cmd_remove_handler, NULL, RSRC_CONF | ACCESS_CONF, "Tells mod_suphp not to handle these MIME-types"),

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apache-user=www-data --with-setid-mode=paranoid --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
make
make install

p /tmp/suphp-0.6.2/doc/suphp.conf-example /etc/suphp.conf

vi /etc/suphp.conf

to give:

[global]

;Path to logfile
logfile=/var/log/suphp.log
;Loglevel
loglevel=info
;User Apache is running as
webserver_user=www-data
;Path all scripts have to be in

;Umask to set, specify in octal notation

[handlers]
;Handler for php-scripts
x-httpd-php=php:/usr/bin/php5-cgi
;Handler for CGI-scripts
x-suphp-cgi=execute:!self

I restart apache2 but the file type .php is still not handled correctly.

What am I doing wrong please?

Have you tried using the package libapache2-mod-suphp?

Hi Carl,

Many thanks for your reply.
I have just installed the package libapache2-mod-suphp you mentioned, and, although it appeared to install OK, php files are still not being handled correctly (browser tries to download them).

Any more help would be much appreciated please.

Hi Carl,

Well after a lot of experimentation I created a USB stick with a partition table and the factory restore image and restored my Bubba 2 (not a bad thing in itself).

I found that after installing libapache2-mode-suphp I got a '500 internal server error' when I tried to run php scripts within my web/joomla/ directory. But removing the libapache2-mode-suphp module had scripts running ok.

What have I done wrong please?
