hi, i was trying to follow the "How To Set Up suPHP With PHP4 And PHP5" but i ran into trouble when i tried to test my configuration i managed to install the php cgi's and compiled the suPHP according to the instructions and my virtualhost config is as follows: Code: NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log suPHP_Engine on suPHP_UserGroup testuser test AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php </VirtualHost> my suphp.conf file: Code: [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 docroot=/ ;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/php4-cgi ;Handler for CGI-scripts x-suphp-cgi=execute:!self php installations: Code: # php5-cgi -v PHP 5.1.4-1.dotdeb.2 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Jun 2 2006 10:26:45) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies # php4-cgi -v PHP 4.3.10-16 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Aug 24 2005 20:10:22) Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies now as for the error.. i am getting a http500 on every page (even with the simple phpinfo(); ) and when i look into /var/log/apache/error.log i see these lines: Code: [Fri Jul 21 20:25:49 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] (2)No such file or directory: couldn't create child process: /usr/sbin/suphp for /var/www/index.php suphp exists in /usr/sbin Code: # /usr/sbin/suphp suPHP version 0.6.1 (c) 2002-2005 Sebastian Marsching suPHP has to be called by mod_suphp to work. i have read that it is a bug (and apparently fixed according to: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30137 ). what can i do to overcome this, i thought of compiling the latest 2.0 code but then it will break the apt-get.. thanks.
a follow up, i noticed in my vhost config i used suPHP_UserGroup testuser test and thought it may be the problem. so i did: # groupadd unpriv # useradd -g unpriv suphpuser and changed the suPHP_UserGroup to suPHP_UserGroup unpriv suphpuser and it is now even worse Code: [Sat Jul 22 15:25:35 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Premature end of script headers: index.php [Sat Jul 22 15:25:35 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] SoftException in Application.cpp:291: UID of script "/var/www/index.php" is smaller than min_uid index.php is: Code: <?php phpinfo(); ?> there is something terribly wrong going on here, any help is appreciated
Did you follow the tutorial as close as possible (please compare your setup with the one from the tutorial)? Which distribution do you use?
hi, i followed the guide step by step and i am using a fresh debian 3.1 installation. just to ensure i did not skip a step, i tried it twice, and i restored the harddisk to the fresh state after i failed first time
Do the user testuser and the group test exist on your system? Please check /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
hi falko, i noticed the user test and the group testuser did not exist after my first post so in my follow-up message i did: and it still did not solve it. thanks for your help, it's much appreciated
hi, the vhost config is: Code: NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log suPHP_Engine on suPHP_UserGroup unpriv suphpuser AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php </VirtualHost> the error message is: Code: [Wed Jul 26 04:13:58 2006] [error] [client x.x.x.x] SoftException in Application.cpp:291: UID of script "/var/www/index.php" is smaller than min_uid the usergroup 'unpriv' and user 'suphpuser' exist. thanks for your help.
well, i gave up. it does not work thanks for your help anyway. i will probably use one of your other howtos to set up a web server. regards.
check /etc/suphp/suphp.conf and increase the user/group ids to 10000 (if thats where you web*_usernames start from) suPHP_UserGroup directive doesnt seem to work and has to be commented out in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.lib.php
