how do we verify if suPHP ?

[shann]

Hi,

How can I verify that suPHP is enabled?

From your shell, just try this one, it will give you the handlers enabled for PHPs in the server.

root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [~]# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current
Available handlers: suphp dso fcgi cgi none
DEFAULT PHP: 5
PHP4 SAPI: suphp
PHP5 SAPI: suphp
SUEXEC: enabled

Make a php file, change the permissions on that file to 777 and open it in a browser. If it says 500 Internal Server error, your most probably running suPHP.

Alternatively,
If you have access to WHM - login, in the menu find Configure PHP and SuExec
Check the drop down box for "PHP 4/5 Handler" - and if beside that it says "suPHP" - ur running it


Edit: Or shell it as above. How did you post ahead of me, that's just weird. LOL.

SuPHP activity is logged in /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log. If you tail it, you will see if there is any current activity:

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/suexec_log

If PHP has write access it is running suphp. For instance, check for write perms on your current directory, or try creating a file.
