    Hello,


    Yesterday I successfully upgraded Apache from 1.3 to 2.2

    I have manage to build apache with new modules like : new mod_security, mod_bandwith, uniqueid, suphp (replacement for phpsuexec), etc.

    Problems on what I encountered are :

    1. php_flags on users .htaccess - my users can't use php_flags anymore, instead they can place they're own php.ini in public_html (correct me if I'm wrong) and use they're custom php settings. If your users use php_flags it will result Internal server error.

    2. suphp and fcgi - If you are using suphp or fcgi and your users use files chmoded to 777 or 666, you must change files to 644 and folders to 755 or else you will get Internal server error. I have manage to write few lines which will automatically chmod folders and files :

    Files :
    Code:
    REMOVED by MODS as this may break your server, see next post.
    Folders :
    Code:
    find /home/*/public_html -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
    3. Mod_security 2 - With apache2 you can add new mod_security module, and you need new rulset since they are changed from version 1. You can find ruleset in attachment. I found this ruleset here on forum, but I can't find link anymore :), so I'm posting it here in my post.

    I had to do those stuff and everything is ok for now. I will replay if I encounter any other problem.

    Please post you experience.

    hi, thanx to share your experience we havent upgraded yet....let me say that running the command:

    find /home/*/public_html -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

    you could skrew up perl scripts, that command will change chmod to any file no matter if is a php or not, you coudl use:

    find /home/*/public_html -name '*.php' -o -name '*.php[34]' -o -name '*.phtml'| xargs chmod -v 644


    About each user php.ini, did you test it? With php suexec is the way that is running but i did read in many other posts that peple upgraded to suphp lost this ability, could you confirm please?

    Also do you run more than php version together?

    Thanx!

    Tnx.

    I just encounter one problem. In WHM under "Configure PHP and SuExec" I changed my PHP 5 Handler to fcgi, and now I can't access to hostname/~username for domains that are not pointed to server.

    In my error_log I have this :

    In suexec log I don't have detailed information about this problem. I would appreciate some help :)

    You should not use php flags in .htaccess in a suexec php....instead use the php.ini file with the php variables on it.

    Note that php_flag does not work with Apache 2. Neither does on / off — you must use 0 (off) or 1 (on).

    For example enable register_globals on (apache2) / .htaccess :
    php_value register_globals 1

    Only if you are running php as a apache module, that do not work in suexec.

    Where can I find php.ini file for each customer?

    Can a customer access to php.ini file from Cpanel?

    If not .htaccess, is this feature safe?

    Where can I find all of the php config features for Apache 2.2?

    Thanks.

    The CGI and FCGI configurations aren't going to work with ~userdir requests without disabling Suexec in the WHM interface and moving the suexec binary away from /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec.

    The FastCGI setup is just a simple baseline configuration that needs to be tweaked for the needs of the server. The CGI setup is intended as a fallback when the other preferrable setups (DSO or SuPHP) aren't options.

    Tnx!

    I'm now using DSO, and I have php_flags in .htaccess!

    If you are using suphp then you have to place php.ini in your public_html. This php.ini must ONLY contains lines that you need example :

    register_globals on
    some_other_value off
    some_other_value2 12M

    user php.ini should not contain "all php.ini" file !

    I'm satisfied with DSO, but I can't see what my users are doing :) Is there any fix for this in DSO mode?

    We have PHP compiled as a FastCGI with phpsuexec and suexec enabled, but Apache is v1.3.3.9... and the hostname/~username works... thus, how come it won't work in the new Apache 2 version, did something else change?

    OK tried that mod_security rule set you posted, and apache wouldn't restart.. not sure why (or which rule was crashing it.)

    Anyone else have a WORKABLE and good 2.0 ruleset for a production cPanel box?

    Sorry for posting after 3 months but this topic talks exactly about what i need.

    I'm just checking if someone know how to find php_flags on .htaccess files and tell where this .htaccess are.

    So i'll able to make this changes for my users instead of letting their site down.

    Thanks.

    You can use following command...

    Code:
    find /home -name '.htaccess' -exec grep -i 'php_' {} \; -print
