Configure Suexec and PHP

[adrov]

Default PHP Version (.php files) 5
PHP 5 Handler "dso" or "cgi" or "suphp" or "fcgi" ?
PHP 4 Handler none
Suexec "on" or "off" ?

PHP 5 Handler suphp
Suexec on

suphp is very configurable and very secure but it is slow compared to DSO.

-------------------
please note the following changes if you enable suphp:

All the files and folders in the home directory of accounts should be under the ownership of account username. Nobody ownership is not allowed.

No PHP directives (register_globals, upload_max_size, etc) are allowed in .htaccess anymore, you need to mention these directives in the account specific php.ini file.

Folders should have maximum of 755 permissions and the php files should have 644 permissions.
777 permissions are not allowed for security reasons.
-------------------

DSO is fast compared to suphp but it is insecure.

so, fast = DSO, security = suphp

I will prefer security. Hope you too
