The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With Apache2 [ISPConfig 3] - SUPHP

While performing Step 15 ("Installing Apache2 With mod_php, mod_fcgi/PHP5, And suPHP ") of "The Perfect Server - CentOS 6.2 x86_64 With Apache2 [ISPConfig 3]" phpMyAdmin stopped working. In fact, every time that I access phpMyAdmin, one of Apache's child processes dies:

Code:

[eric@ispconfig-1 suphp-0.7.1]$ sudo tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
...
[Thu Jan 12 21:35:38 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.15 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_fcgid/2.3.6 PHP/5.3.3 mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips configured -- resuming normal operations

[Thu Jan 12 21:36:55 2012] [notice] child pid 2147 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

I created the configuration file for suphp using the sample file (/tmp/suphp-0.7.1/doc/suphp.conf-example) and modified according to the recipe (e.g., webserver_user=apache)...

Code:

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

;Loglevel
loglevel=info

;User Apache is running as
webserver_user=apache

;Path all scripts have to be in
docroot=/var/www:${HOME}/public_html

;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=true

;Send minor error messages to browser
errors_to_browser=false

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

;Umask to set, specify in octal notation
umask=0077

; Minimum UID
min_uid=100

; Minimum GID
min_gid=100

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

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

Any ideas what might be causing this?

 

This problem persists even after removing the suphp configuration file and restarting apache!

Code:

[eric@ispconfig-1 suphp-0.7.1]$ sudo mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/suphp.conf ~

[eric@ispconfig-1 suphp-0.7.1]$ sudo service httpd restart

Same happens here as well. Friday the 13th. Let's go and try it without suphp Maybe drink some beer

 

After a while of trial and error, it turns out to be eaccelerator the problem... After removing it, everything starts to work magically....

 

Works for me too:

Code:

[eric@ispconfig-1 ~]$ sudo yum erase `rpm -qa | grep accel`

Thanks, Eddie!

 

Hey, Falko:

Any ideas why eaccelertor is causing segmentation faults? What do you recommend? Is eacelerator important/necessary? What should we do?

 

If eAccelerator is giving you problems, you can use APC or Xcache instead. All three are PHP opcode caches that speed up PHP execution a lot, therefore it's strongly recommmended to have one installed.

 

Any idea why eAccelerator isn't working on Centos 6.2 (x86_64), Falko?

 

No, but as I've mentioned before, you can replace it with Xcache or APC.

 

Hey, Falko:

I guess that my point here is that I installed eAccelerator (as per the HOWTO) and it didn't work so I'm hoping that you might know why.

 

I have no idea...

 

Hi to ALL,
Im new to linux and busy with step 15 as per Eric Pretorius . my problem is with the follwoing step : Next we install suPHP (there is a mod_suphp package available in the repositories, but unfortunately it isn't compatible with ISPConfig, therefore we have to build suPHP ourselves):

cd /tmp
wget http://suphp.org/download/suphp-0.7.1.tar.gz
tar xvfz suphp-0.7.1.tar.gz
cd suphp-0.7.1/
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-apache-user=apache --with-setid-mode=owner --with-php=/usr/bin/php-cgi --with-logfile=/var/log/httpd/suphp_log --enable-SUPHP_USE_USERGROUP=yes
make
make install



I get the following error after running the command:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apr=/usr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-apache-user=apache --with-setid-mode=owner --with-php=/usr/bin/php-cgi --with-logfile=/var/log/httpd/suphp_log --enable-SUPHP_USE_USERGROUP=yes

checking for APR ... configure:error: the --with-apr parameter is incorrct.it must specify an install prefix,a build directory or an apr-config file




thankyou !!!!

Is this CentOS 6.2? Is SELinux disabled?

 

Yes to both questions.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /usr/bin/apr-1-config

? Did you install the httpd-devel package?
