    Hello,
    I changed (had to) the owner and group of the public_html folder (recursively) to account:nobody and now I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error.

    PHP runs under nobody:nobody as suphp

    Old Settings
    plublic_html folder: account:nobody
    Rest of the files and folder under it was account:account

    New Settings
    The public_html folder and all the files and folders under it is account:nobody

    This is the error I am getting in my error log:
    Code:
    [Thu Nov 08 00:53:27 2012] [error] [client 69.171.224.112] SoftException in Application.cpp:431: Mismatch between target GID (501) and GID (99) of file "/home/account/public_html/vbseo.php"
    What to do now?
    Thanks

    That should be what you want, not your old settings. Recursively changing owner like this should not be done without some thought.
    What makes you say this? Have you read the docs?

    I really didn't get you on this. It's my old setting you quoted.

    I used this to find.
    Code:
    egrep -iw --color=auto '^user|^group' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    Code:

    What am I doing wrong?

    Sorry, those old settings, should be your current settings. Not your old settings, they are correct for SuPHP.

    :((
    Shall I use account:nobody for CGI-FCGI PHP Handler or account:account for SuPHP PHP Handler?

    Well, you'd have had to be more clear here with exactly what you're going for. The documentation I linked you to should be helpful, you only need to read up on all this to understand it a bit better. Or, search these forums for one of the many, many threads on this topic.
