Hello,
1)does necessary install suPHP on server ?

It is not necessary to install SuPHP on the server, but it is considered to be a good thing to do.

2)what does suPHP do exactly and if i install it on my server there is not any conflict for my users script?

It runs all PHP scripts as the user in whose account they reside - rather than running all scripts as user nobody. It also prevents scripts that have insecure permissions from running.

Most PHP scripts will run well within a SuPHP environment. However, some older not well-maintained scripts that rely on insecure permissions may experience issues in a SuPHP environment.

It's easy. Simply go to the WHM interface and in the Software section click Apache Update. Proceed through the build process until step 5, then select the checkbox for Mod SuPHP. Proceed to compile Apache via the WHM interface. When done, you will be prompted regarding how you wish to have PHP run - select SuPHP.

If you do not see this prompt, you can set this in WHM -> Service Configuration -> Configure PHP and SuExec. Note, in 11.24, this has been moved to WHM -> Service Configuration -> Apache Configuration -> PHP and SuExec Configuration.

Hi,
thanks for help me...

When using suPHP I see a big lag when accessing a php page for the first time 5sec vs. 1sec for the second php generated page.
When using mod_fcgid the lag is a bit shorter.

Is there an way to shorten that lag for low frequented websites unter suPHP? E.g. that php5 stays longer up (if that is the main reason). For fcgid there are some optimization hints.

Hi

I have folloed the instructions above on install suPHP but now when i try and access my website I get the followign error

Redirect Loop

Redirection limit for this URL exceeded.  Unable to load the requested page.  This may be caused by cookies that are blocked.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is

 redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

    *  Have you disabled or blocked cookies required by this site?

   *  NOTE: If accepting the site's cookies does not resolve the problem, it is probably a server configuration

        issue and not your computer.

I have no idea on how to solve this. Could anyone give me some advice

Many Thanks in advance

Rename the .htaccess file in public_html and then try to access the site. If it works then, you've got some code in that .htaccess file that will need updated or removed. Note the .htaccess file is a "hidden" file, so you'll need to set your FTP client to view it. Or select the option to view dot files in cPanel file manager when you first open the FM from within cPanel itself.

I installe mod suphp

but my files created in php are always in nobody nobody

root@centos [/home/olivier/www/tmp]# ll
total 20
drwxrwxrwx 2 olivier olivier 4096 jan 21 14:58 ./
drwxr-x--- 11 olivier nobody 4096 jan 21 14:34 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 jan 21 14:58 compteur.txt

my script:
-------------------------------------
$monfichier = fopen('tmp/compteur.txt', 'wr+');

$pages_vues = fgets($monfichier); // On lit la première ligne (nombre de pages vues)
$pages_vues++; // On augmente de 1 ce nombre de pages vues
fseek($monfichier, 0); // On remet le curseur au début du fichier
fputs($monfichier, $pages_vues); // On écrit le nouveau nombre de pages vues

fclose($monfichier);

echo '<p>Cette page a été vue ' . $pages_vues . ' fois !</p>';-
---------------

my vhost:

ServerName olivier.com
ServerAlias www.olivier.com

## User olivier # Needed for Cpanel::ApacheConf
<IfModule mod_suphp.c>

and in WHM I have configured suphp:

PHP 4 Handler none
Suexec on

Read the message you posted.

It says you have a "redirect loop" setup.

IE: pages redirecting to each other

Doesn't sound like a SuPHP problem or anything related

I would look first at the code for the page you are trying to view
and then to any .htaccess files you might have in or above the directory
where the web file you are trying to view is located noting any redirects
or "Location" headers placed in those files.
