PHP Fastcgi + SuPHP. Is it possible?

[stormrider]

Hello,

Is it possible to run fastcgi with suPHP. Were anyone able to do this on CPanel?

CGI + SuPHP uses a lot of resources.

And PHP ( DSO ) + Eaccelerator is extremeley insecure since you can read and/or delete files from all users ( read all files, delete only the ones with 777 permissions ). And this is valid even when you have open_baserdir enabled!

I tried to run fcgi + suphp but i got this error: No input file specified

Thanks for anyone who help.

I don't believe so, you can view recommended settings within the documents here:

Cpanel support told me the same thing

I really don't know what do to, running php as apache module + eacccelerator is extremely fast but totally insecure.

But running php as cgi is so slow. On my benchmark php-cgi runned 39x slower than php as apache module.

i just updated Apache to have Apache 2.2 + Mod FCGID + PHP5 + suPHP + fastcgi + Zend Optimier.

despite couple previous posts indicating suPHP+fastcgi won't work, Apache/PHP seems to be working fine. php script execution speed has increased quite a bit!

has anyone tried this? encounter any problems? is this a recommanded setup?


thank you!

one problem i have found is that http://server_hostname/~username/some_script.php won't work (500 Internal Server Error).

I have made a compilation just like yours. Except I am with Apache 2.0. Didn't receive any errors or anything. I need fastcgi for Ruby On Rails so I believe there should be no problems.

Question: Do you actually need Mod FCGID to have fastcgi installed? I'm just looking to have ruby on rails installed.

I am using Apache 2.2 + Mod FCGID + PHP5/PHP4 + suPHP + fastcgi + Zend Optimier without problems until this moment.

Are you using fcgi as the PHP handler? ("Configure Suexec and PHP" in WHM)

Any problem previewing the website by using http://hostname/~username/ ?

I had the same setup, but could not figure out how to make http://hostname/~username/ work....


Any help appreciated! Thanks

No, i tried to configure changing the php handler to fcgi, but i have so many problems... I have back to SUPHP.

Not sure if this is related but we have a client trying to install the fcgi gem and he gets the error:

we are running apache 2.2.8 with PHP 5.2.6 and suPHP

anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
