suPHP htdocs

[Mysteerie]

When I try and use php files (primarly phpinfo) in the default document root of apache for the main shared ip (/usr/local/apache/htdocs) I get an 500 error. I tried different chmod's differently.

However, I havn't edit the virtualhost (since I am currently having a problem saving virtual host configurations for the root virtualhost).

Anyone have suggestions to get php working in htdocs with suphp? I am guessing the problem lies because php isn't running under a user? Though I am a bit stuck here and await hopefully some help will come.

Chown the file owner to apache and add this to your VirtualHost entry:

<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
suPHP_UserGroup apache apache
</IfModule>

I have the same problem and apache as the owner is an error.

What you can do is set it to a owner of a website / account you own on the server

That works.

Sure, the user apache was just an example really!

I assumed you were suggesting httpd

When one says apache I think httpd which is a user.

I have one server that no matter what I look at or do it will not work.
Modernbill will not run nor will any user for htdocs.

All folder permissions are correct and all file permissions are correct.

Yet neither a php script in htdocs or Modernbill which is installed in my account will run.

Had to remove it and we are back up running for both.

Can it be due to CentOS ?
My other servers are Fedora and no problems with those.

I am planning on scraping CentOS soon so it's not a big problem.

I'm a happy user of CentOS, no troubles on our end.
