suPHP 0.7.1 and Ubuntu Server 10.04

I recently installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 as a LAMP server, and want to install suPHP to manage multiple virtual hosts. PHP was working fine before, but now when I try with suPHP it keeps giving internal server errors. Here is the error I'm getting in the Apache logs:

Code:

[Sun Jun 13 09:35:42 2010] [error] [client 70.29.83.166] Premature end of script headers: test.php, referer: http://brwarner.co.cc/

No other errors are above or below which indicate the exact problem, and the suphp.log is empty.

I installed suPHP using the following commands

Code:

./configure --with-apache-user=www-data --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs2
make
make install

Here is my suphp.conf found in /usr/local/etc

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=/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=true

;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
application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/bin/php5"

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

And the virtual host file

What's the output of

Code:

updatedb
locate suphp.conf

?

 

Code:

/home/brwarner/suphp-0.7.1/doc/suphp.conf-example
/usr/local/etc/suphp.conf

 

Can you try

Code:

cp /usr/local/etc/suphp.conf /etc/suphp.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

?

 

Still get this:

Code:

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Last few entries in error.log

Code:

I'm pretty sure it was in the right place before, because I had it in /etc but then it gave me an error saying it couldn't open it. I moved it to /usr/local/etc and then it started doing this, but no explanation...

 

Is your PHP script owned by the correct user and group (brwarner)?

 

Yes, as well as all parent folders up to the brwarner home directory (and all have full read access despite)

 

I have found the issue! (Finally)
Turns out the line

Code:

application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/bin/php5"

in suphp.conf should read

Code:

application/x-httpd-php="php:/usr/bin/php5-cgi"

as that executable echos the necessary headers as well. Now things work
