Been round and round the forums looking for answers but cant find so here goes The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft) ISPConfig 2.2.9 Joomla CMS 1.0.11 On An ISPConfig Server Within 10 Easy Steps Everything seems to work fine until I need to tinker with a few things 1. I would like to run Joomla using the SEO options but when I change the htaccess.txt file from Joomla to the required .htaccess file I get a 500 server error. The file is the standard Joomla .htacces file that comes with a clean install, what do I need to modify to allow it to work properly and to still be secure. I had a site hacked earlier this year and its not a pleasant experience 2. Also I need to run a cron job for a Joomla component feed gator and can’t find the cron tab in ispconfig. Maybe there isnt one. If not how do I setup a cron job for a file in Joomla using the command line in the ubuntu server. I am still very new and unfamiliar with command line tools. 3. Using file zilla as my preferred ftp up loader but it is often the case that after the initial install of Joomla that It is no longer able to modify any file in any way be it delete or change name or chmod any file with ftp file zilla. Is this a file zilla problem or just the settings being used by the server for The Perfect Setup - Ubuntu 6.10 Server (Edgy Eft) 4. I will be setting up at least 1 Joomla site on this server that will require ssl certificates and I am wondering if there is anything I should know before I go and plunge into the deep end of this project. to anyone that can help I give many many thanks in advance Steve
1) Please look in the apache error.log of the website for a more detailed error message. 2) You can edit the corontab with the command: crontab -e 3) This happens because files created by joomla belong to another user then the FTP user. If you want to change that, you may search the forums for suphp 4) No, just enable SSL for the website and create a SSL certificate in ISPConfig.
suphp disaster Thanks for Your comments and sorry its taken me so long to get back to this thread with Xmas and all so hope you all had a merry time. Suphp looks like the best option so I went ahead and tried installing it and it’s a disaster, nothing works and all my websites have error 500 internal server error. I have been back over and done everything a dozen times and checked and rechecked all the settings and it all looks correct but the php is not functioning for any of the websites and I cant seem to find any answers from the other forum threads I have looked at. It may be a compiling error but I don’t know how to determine this. It’s a ubuntu server http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.10 with ispconfig running several Joomla sites. I followed the http://www.howtoforge.com/apache2_suphp_php4_php5 to setup the suphp but I think the problem lies in that it is specific for Debian and not Ubuntu and therefore some of the settings need to be changed but I don’t know what setting as I am doing all of this for the first time and really don’t know much about Linux as yet, but I am learning heaps. Ok here is what I hope is all the info you are likely to ask me for and hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction. root@host1:/home/administrator# vi /var/log/apache2/error.log [Sun Dec

where do I go to edit the vhost files ??? Maybe i am stupid or something but there is no instruction for this that I can see How do I edit the vhost settings to place the suphp commands into the vhost files. I tried placing it in the ispconfig apache extra commends section and that didnt do anything so how and where. What file am I supost to edit I am at a loss.?? 6 Apache Configuration In this chapter I assume we have a web site www.example.com on the IP address 1.2.3.4 with the document root /var/www and the following vhost configuration: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www </VirtualHost> In order to enable suPHP for the vhost www.example.com and let it run PHP scripts as the user testuser and the group test, we modify the vhost as follows: <VirtualHost 1.2.3.4> ServerName www.example.com ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www suPHP_Engine on suPHP_UserGroup testuser test AddHandler x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5 suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php </VirtualHost> AddHandler x-httpd-php refers to suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-php which then refers to the x-httpd-php line in /etc/suphp.conf which means that scripts with the extensions .php, .php3, .php4, and .php5 are interpreted by /usr/bin/php5-cgi.
Ok I surrender suphp is not working and I am now ready to uninstall Am I likely to have any problems uninstalling and returning my server back to how it was prior to installing suphp. Given that suphp was downloaded and compiled and installed what are the commands and steps I need to perform for the uninstall if finaly I give up trying to get it to work.
You don't need to uninstall it. It is sufficient to remove the suPHP directives from your Apache configuration and restart Apache.
