Configure Suexec and PHP

[manuk]

Hello

on "Configure Suexec and PHP" I have these settings


Default PHP Version (.php files) 5
PHP 5 Handler suphp
PHP 4 Handler none
Suexec on



Please someone can explain me what is the option Suexec on .
Should I set on with suphp ? If yes , why ? If no , why ?

(I am really confused if Suexec is phpsuexec or what else ?)

Thanks!

PhpSuExec is no longer available as of EA3. It has been replaced by SuPHP.

SuExec on makes Perl scripts run as the user whose account they reside in. It is completely independent of SuPHP.

If you enable SuPHP, it is generally recommended you run SuExec as well so you can go into tweak settings and disable user nobody from sending mail, as now user nobody would not have a legitimate reason to send mail.

ok so Suexec is referred to perl ,ok now is clear thank you.

I think you should change

Configure Suexec and PHP

with

Configure Perl Suexec and PHP


Then you wrote this

This tool allows you to select how Apache will deliver PHP content and to select which version of PHP will be used by default for the '.php' file extension.

You should definitely change it with

This tool allows you to select how Apache will deliver PHP content and to select which version of PHP will be used by default for the '.php' file extension. This tool allows also you to set on/off perl suexec .


In this way it will be more clear . I was thinking that suxec was phpsuexec becuase this description

refers only to php (!!) and not to perl ! .

SuExec inherently only refers to Perl (as it is a Perl tool), it has never referred to PHP. Saying "Perl SuExec" is rather redundant, it's like saying PHP SuPHP.

However, you do bring up a valid point as the on-screen documentation implies SuExec affects PHP files when it does not. You may wish to submit your recommended verbiage as an official feature request to http://bugzilla.cpanel.net and paste a link to it here so others can vote in favor of such a change.

SuExec affects any script run via CGI, whether the script is Perl, PHP, bash or otherwise.

Thanks for clarification on that

so.... php permission errors (internal server errors) should be logged on suexec log ?

disable suphp . or change php to cgi mode or module mode .
