    Hello guys,

    My server management company told me the following:

    Please confirm, is it true that Phpsuexec is no longer supported by cpanel and suphp is it's replacement and Phpsuexec doesn't work properly anymore?

    Thanks.

    I'm using Apache 1.3. Please tell me how this is relevant to the issue.

    Thanks.

    So basically what the management company is telling is incorrect.

    Please confirm.

    Running PHP via SuExec is supported in all versions of Apache.

    In versions of EasyApache prior to EasyApache 3, we used to patch suExec to work more seemlessly with PHP. This patching was often referred to as 'phpsuexec' and is no longer supported. It was problematic, was prone to error and was only compatible with Apache 1.3.

    The same security benefits can be had by either:

    1. Using mod_suphp; or
    2. Using regular suExec

    performance hit?

    will there be a performance hit using mod_suphp ?

    I would think so as it would call php via cgi

    then again - does this not happen across pretty much all *suexec solutions/?

    If you want the raw speed of mod_php and the security of mod_suphp/suexec, then do some reading on FastCGI.

    suphp is a performance hit if the server is under heavy PHP load; but in most cases the extra load isn't really noticeable.

    You'll be under pretty serious load if accounts get hacked or a spammer starts up and you can't track them down; suphp helps with that sort of load :P

    I think that's Apache 2 only? I looked quickly for that, but I am still on Apache 1.3 and couldn't see the option for FastCGI in Easy Apache. Nice to know it works though, when I am ready to go to Apache 2.

    I think the best advantage of suphp is most security.
    Because you can find abusers also without suphp
    The big negative points is that it could overload the server easly and it does not accept php accelerators at all.
