Mod_Layout and suPHP issues.

[Humpy2006]

Hi,

I am using CPanel 11, iPanel 3.6.19 on CentOS5, Apache 2.2.11, Mod_Layout 5.1 & PHP 5.2.8

I wish to implement adverts on free hosting accounts whilst also using suPHP. After installing using Easy Apache, I set the PHP handler to 'suPHP' and all the advert pages that are in PHP no longer parse - instead are replaced with a couple of funny characters.

If I set to 'DSO' then the pages and adverts load properly - but obviously don't have the benefits of suPHP (especially preventing the running scripts as nobody). Setting to 'CGI' prevents the adverts from showing on PHP pages.

Has anyone had this and know of a way around it? Below are the apache logs for the different handlers.

Thanks




I changed the handler to suPHP, loaded a page with mod_layout adverts and then reverted it back to DSO. Below is the apache log for the time frame:

And here I changed it to CGI and loaded a couple of pages afterwards.

there currently is not a work around for this. It's a issue between mod_layout and suphp.

We are alpha testing a new apache module we wrote to replace mod_layout that fixes this issue along with users will no longer be able to remove the forced ads from there websites. There are a few other neat features we added that mod_layout doesn't support, but need to leave some surprises.
