mod_suphp how to get apache portable runtime issue working?

[jdaustin]

I've tried installing mod_suphp a few different ways and always get this error when http starts up:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/mod_suphp.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/mod_suphp.so: undefined symbol: apr_procattr_error_check_set
I'm running 5.0.4:
http://www.twingeckos.com/phpinfo.php

Any Ideas?

That should say php 5.0.4 and apache 2.0.40

Is this on a Plesk box? I've never heard of a succesfull install of suPHP on a machine running Plesk. If you get it working, I'm sure a lot of people are interested.

From what I've heard, you cannot use .htaccess files at the same time as suphp, but if you're not relying on the use of .htaccess, then it's supposed to be possible...

Yes it's on a plesk box.
It doesn't work with .htaccess ? How weird. I know that Joomla uses .htaccess to do search engine related url rewriting.

One thing I really hate about the setup that plesk created is that it's very difficult to nail down what people are doing unless they're running CGI scripts. If I have one client doing something malicious using php it's hard to nail down which account did it since it runs as apache.

I believe everybody would like something like suPHP to be default on Plesk, but sadly it isn't (yet?).

I have suphp running on plesk 8.0.1 on FC2/php 4 and FC3/php 5. I run it on virtual hosts so it can be switched of on a directory basis. Ie I only use it when uploading files etc so that permissions get set directly. I have had no issues with .htaccess as far as I am aware.

Since upgrading to the php 5.0.4 though I seem to be getting some issues with swap space. The only difference between the php4 version and php5 version is that the php5 version uses php-cgi.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this.

My suphp.conf file looks like this

LoadModule suphp_module modules/mod_suphp.so

Also did you compile suphp from scratch. I found the dag rpms didn't work for me. And after upgrading to php5 I had to recompile suphp again.

What about my suphp rpms? I haven't had a chance to test them myself, they're based on the fedora design.

Where are they?

Do they activate suphp server wide or can it be switched on/off for each vhost.

I run it through vhosts which means each site can have its own php.ini file and suphp can be turned on or off through the vhosts.conf file, which also allows suphp to be activated on a directory basis.

In fact it shouldn't be too difficult for swsoft to build it into the plesk control panel.


My suphp files are

/usr/sbin/suphp
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_suphp.so
/etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf - (only contains loadmodule line)
/etc/suphp.conf - (default config file)
/var/log/httpd/suphp_log - (error logs)
/etc/phpvirtual/[domain]/php.ini


I set up a php.ini for each domain I suppose this file could live in the vhost conf directory ie /home/httpd/vhosts/[domain]/conf/php.ini for simplicity and be auto created from a skel file. It would be advisable to activate the open_basedir restriction in each php.ini file

and then vhost.conf

[Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/[domain]/httpdocs]
php_admin_flag engine on
suPHP_Engine On
suPHP_ConfigPath "/etc/phpvirtual/[domain]"
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php
[/Directory]

which basically switches suphp on, and points to the php.ini file.
The AddHandlers could probably be moved to the /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf but if I recall I had some problems if I left them in that file.

Im not doing anything plesk-centric with them at this time, these are just backports of the FC4/FC5 mod_suphp packages.
