php5 as apache module

[_Tux_]

i tryed searching for php5 and i didnt find an awnser (mostly how to run php5 with php4)

im trying to install php5 as an apache module (i dont want to run it along side php4) but what ever i try it allways runs as cgi.

my VPS is running WHM 10.1.0 cPanel 10.2.0-R82 Fedora i686 - WHM X v3.1.0 and i try to update php through the update apache link in whm.

these are the selected items in the update apache page

Expires Module
Raise FD_SETSIZE to 16384 (System Wide)
Prevent Users from reading other webroots
Frontpage Module
Raise HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
Php Module (Version 4.3.3)
Version 5.0.4
Bc Math
Calendar Support
Curl (Version 7.12.0)
FTP
GD (Version 2.0.15)
Magic Quotes
Mysql Module
Discard Path
Pear
Sockets
Track Vars
Versioning
Zlib
PHP suEXEC Support
Report Build Errors to cPanel
Rewrite Module
SSL Module (Version 2.8.22)
suEXEC Module


whats confusing is the module part of the httpd.conf file has both php4 and php5 commented out (and if i un comment out the php 5 parts, apache fails to start)

here is the php info http://vadertrophy.com/phpinfo.php

any help to getting it running as an apache module is great

[_Tux_]

yes i was told to do that last time. and it didnt make a difference

[chirpy]

When you do the php/apache build, have you made sure that the box "Skip Apache Build if up to date" is not ticked. If it is, then you should untick it and rebuild.

[chirpy]

Next thing to try would be to make sure that you delete /home/cpapachebuild before running the build again. If this still fails, I'd log a support ticket with cPanel as it should clearly work.

[_Tux_]

am i allowed to log a support ticket with cpanel? because my cpanel license is bought through my host (but they dont offer support for things like this without extra charge)

[_Tux_]

ok thanks.

its a production machine so i cant take it down until midnight. ill post back to let you know the result

[edit]

thats the 2nd time its put my reply above your post

[chirpy]

For something like this I would say, yes. You can always mention the fact to them when logging and they'll let you know if it's a problem.

ok i just tryed it and it seemed to have killed itself. all php files now want to be downloaded instead of executed

ok i managed to get it to compile but its *still* as cgi

so im going to submit a support request

[_Tux_]

im back

a cpanel tech fixed php for me (dont compile with phpsuexec if you want an apache module). but then came a new problem and a confusing one. it seems that php5 as an apache module doesnt execute the scripts properly, the best way to describe it is as if it gets to a point in *any* php script and halts execution (the point where it halts is different for each script).

has anyone seen that happen before?


in the mean time im back to using it as a cgi module

[CoolMike]

I'm using at the moment php 4.3.11 with phpsuexec. Can I just tick the PHP5 box under "Update Apache" and this will install additionally PHP5? Is then the extension of php5 files *.php5?

I always thought, this is much more complicate. But I think that's how you do it, right?
